Well, today starts the New Year of 2010. As most, I'm glad to see 2009 gone, and in the past. It was one heck of a challenging year. But one thing that I'll take from all the experiences, is that "we" (you and I) are much stronger for having gone through all those ups and downs. I've always believed that "everything happens for a reason", and as difficult as it is to keep that top of mind while in the midst of it all... it really does. People have said to us, "you have angles watching over you guys"... and I know that we do. We all do. We just have to believe, pray, and trust.
I'm sure that 2010 will present it's own set of difficult decisions and challenges... but we'll make it through. Right now I'm just praying for the good health of my family and loved ones and the opportunity for improved finances for all of us that are trying to recoup from this past year's fall-out.
I'm starting 2010 with a fresh mind and hopeful heart. I hope you will too.
