For some reason the cold temps don't seem so bad anymore....

New Blog! New Year! New Decade!

With the New Year of 2010 knocking on our doorstep, what a better way to ease into the New Year than blogging! So many people are doing it these days. It got me thinking,"Why don't I just join in?!"


So here I am blogging world! You can follow my life experiences, thoughts and hopes as I explore this new era ahead. With any luck you will enjoy reading about my past, present and future experiences as I present them.


So many times we are presented with life changes. We grow.....experience....change.... Oftentimes as I look back on my life, it never occurred to me why some things turn out the way they do. As time passes the pieces start to fall in place. It makes sense.


I've been listening lately to people talk about the "end of the decade!"
What was really good? What was bad? It got me thinking about how I feel about all the changes that have happened in my life the last 10 years.


Everything that has happened in my life the last ten years; THERE IS NO GOOD OR BAD. THERE JUST IS!

The End of a Decade for me:


(For the next 10 years.....) In 1999 I would NOT have known.......

• I would move 10 times in the next 10 years.
• I would NOT have a short hairstyle again for the next 10 years!
• I would bring a precious baby boy into this world who would end up being the most wonderful, loving, caring and silliest person you have ever met!
• I would have 7 different vehicles.
• I would find the true meaningful difference between my family and relatives.
• I would be divorced and re-married.
• I would travel to 34 different states.
• I would learn 2 important lessons in business.
• I would find my best friend and puzzle piece and it would happen in a bar!
• I would become a mother of 4 and a mother-in-law.
• I would have 1 nephew, 3 nieces and 1 on the way!
• I would become a treasure hunter!
• I would be telling my kids "When I was your age" stories and enjoying it.
• I would realize I don't have it all figured out, but that I will always be figuring it out.

There are so many changes that have happened to me and everyone! I feel that I am always evolving and changing. I try to pay attention to what is working and what isn't.

In the future of this blog you will hear stories of the past and the present. Current experiences and future plans. You will see a glimpse into my life.

"No one knows how other people truly see you. It only matters how you see yourself."

I wouldn't have changed anything in the last 10 years. It would have changed who I am today and who I will be tomorrow. I am an ever changing life in progress, as is everyone else! I am grateful for all the wonderful years and events I have experienced.

HURRAY FOR MANY MORE TO COME!!!
