Hello 2009, Goodbye 2008
Posted on 01. Jan, 2009 by Deb in A Little More Focused, The Girl
From the outside looking in, the last few days 2008 have been quiet. I have been home, not traveling….and I’ve actually been staying at home much of the time, working around the house rather than being out and about. I have had dinner with friends and even went out to a club with Buddy Boy.
From the inside looking out, though, it hasn’t been very quiet at all. I’ve made major progress with this house. There are boxes full of unused kitchen utensils and trash bags full of clothes and linens. All of the “droppings” from my oldest that were in the living room and kitchen have been deposited back into her room. I’ve also done some slight rearranging in my bedroom and introduced new cookware into my kitchen.
I’ve also been doing a lot of woolgathering. In 2008, my guiding principals were Passion, Courage and Forgiveness and the ability to embrace those words was an amazing way to bring a level of focus. Moving into 2009 means the contemplation of new words…even though the current words are dead-on still. 2009 will be a year of change no matter what due to the upcoming 18th birthday this summer of the oldest. So, what did I decide? Well, you will have to wait until the January issue of All Things Girl comes out (which will be January 3rd). But I would love to hear from you what your resolutions / goals / or focus will be in 2009.
Much love to all of you as we say hello to 2009.
