Goodbye MMX! Hello MMXI!!!

Here we are. The last day of 2010. And oh what a year it's been.

There is so much that I am thankful for in 2010:

*My continued health (and eyesigt)

*The health and well being of my children Lauren, Jordan and Terence

*My restored friendship with Terry (after a HORRIFIC 2009, he and I both thought this was impossible and would NEVER happen again. Just goes to show that "it ain't ovah, til God says it's ovah").

*A roof over my head, and my own bed to sleep in everynight.

*A car that works everytime I start it.

*Two absolutely WONDERFUL best friends, Judy & Viv. Seriously...if you have 1 person in your life who you can confide in, laugh with, cry with, and just have a good time even when you're doing absolutely NOTHING...you're doin' pretty good. But when you have TWO such people in your life, as I do...then you are TRULY Blessed.

*Family. My family's not very big. We're not even very close. But at the end of the day, "We Are Family", and that means a lot.

*The new gray hairs in my head. What! Yes, I am even thankful for the gray hairs in my head. For 2 reasons:
1. Because I am able to SEE them.
2. Because it means that I HAVE hair. So much of my hair fell out in 2010 due to the overwhelming amount of stress that is placed upon me at work. My body's way of dealing with the stress was loss of hair. And I lost a LOT. Bald spots everywhere. But I've since learned how to manage the stress by realizing that it is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE for me to meet the demands of my job as it is currently. There are way too few people to the the job of way too many. So all that I do now is all that I am able to do, and no more. Seems to be working. The hair is growing back.

*The Dialogue Den. Yes...this, my beloved blog was created in 2010. Even though nobody's reading (or at least commenting), that's not gonna stop me from writing. This is what I was meant to do. And so, this is what I Will do.

So yes, 2010 was good to me.

Before I go, I'll share with you my personal motto for 2011. I'll write about it more tomorrow, but for now, here it is:

In 2011, I will BE Better, DO Better and HAVE Better!

Let the DIALOGUE being (for our last time in 2010)! How was 2010 for you? What are you hoping for in 2011?

Talk to me!

Love and Prayers, Til next time...
