It's a new year!
Tick-tock, tick-tock...Happy new year to you and yours! I hope each of you had a wonderful Christmas holiday. Rick and I really enjoyed our break. Both of us had the good fortune to have time off from work. We didn't accomplish much, between Rick's back going out and a fierce blast of winter weather, we stayed pretty close to home. Yep, over the past few weeks we've had snow like we've never had in the 20 years I've lived in Vancouver. It started coming down before Christmas and is still on the ground today. It's been a nice change of pace, although it did limit the amount of travel and visiting we could do as our little Corolla doesn't do too well in the deep stuff :)
At the beginning of the new year I always feel somewhat nostalgic, thinking about the past year and excited as I consider the next. In 2009 I hope to have a year of change. Change of mindset and a redefinition of my life; I want to make things better, to accomplish more and to dream bigger.
I hope that no matter your goals or dreams for '09, they come true for you!
(Big Ben clock bought in Omaha, NE...it was a great find at only $9.95)
You really are getting the winter weather. It was cold (high 30's) here in TX the other day but on my computer right now, it says 69. I couldn't stand the cold like you have. Love your clock, Second Chances??
