happy new year

wow, is it really 2010?  I remember Y2K and how we thought the world would come to an end - nope, not even close!

I actually thought 2009 might be the end of the world but as of now it's just another year that had rough and difficult patches.  But as I navigated through the year I realized I can handle just about anything.  Just about.

I learned to be a better friend when we lost Hanna, I became a better employee when I got a new job, and a better member of society when I took on new responsibilities with Hanna's Dream. 

I am calmer and more relaxed - I'm happier.  Thank you 2009 but I can say this...bring on 2010!!

merry everything

we are a few short days away from Christmas and tonight it the last night of Ḥănukāh; where has the year gone?

it has been a crazy year for sure.  i started a new job, we lost hanna, i celebrated 6 years in northern california and reconnected with great friends, new and old on facebook.

in the past few weeks i've decided to recall my year and when i think back, i have been very blessed to have such a wonderful life, full of friends and family. 

welcome 2010!
