Well, here we are, it is a brand new year. Why is it, that the older we get, the faster the year goes by??? Anyone have an answer? I did not think so. 2009 was a pretty good year. It was fun, busy, joy, sadness, learning, teaching and growing.
New Years Eve was fun. Melchor and I went back and forth between two parties. Thank you to our dear friends the Sue-Sues and the Walkers!!! For being over the hill, we stayed up until 1am. We danced, ate, played games, ate, talked and ate some more. A great way to bring in the new year. The only thing that was truely missed was watching Dick Clarks' Rockn' New Years' Eve.
For New Years Day, we slept in until 8 am. I watched the Rose Parade--I get homesick when I see it. After all, I do have history with that parade. I did sleep on the curb twice, waiting to see the parade. I thought of my grandmother who was born on January 1, 1911. She would be 99 years old. I did clean the bathrooms, did the laundry, excercised, took Maddie for a walk and Melchor treated us all to Flancers for lunch. I also managed to fit a three hour nap in--had to you know, I have to work for the next three nights.
Let me see if this year, I can be fit, eat healthier, share the gospel more, cook more (and better), so more random acts of kindness, be more of service to others, be more patient, study the scriptures better, keep up with journal writing, read more and be more like the Savior. I guess that I just want to do what President Hinckley said---do a little bit better. Happy New Year.
