For 2009...


  1. Be happy, healthy, wealthy, wise, patient, strong, gentle, relaxed, hopeful, generous
  2. Honor Pete and our new marriage with love, humor, and kindness
  3. Be open-minded and gracious with others
  4. Give back what I am so lucky to be given
  5. Embrace life and not sit around waiting for things to happen
  6. Organize my home, car, purse, and life, which all sorely need it
  7. Continue to enjoy the small things in life and see the beauty all around me
  8. Repel the stress that forces its way into my body on an almost daily basis
  9. Laugh, and more often
  10. Spend more time with my pets, and thoroughly enjoy their furry warmth and funny antics
  11. Continue to hope
  12. To take more pictures
  13. Sleep more, and more soundly
  14. Eat better, exercise, take my vitamins, which is difficult for me to do all at once
  15. Reach out more often, be part of others' lives, and stop being a recluse
  16. Have more fun with my style, and actually start wearing what I secretly think of wearing but never do
  17. Take back my health and not simply crawl out of bed each morning, but actually get up with a smile, so I can do all of the above
  18. Keep blogging and not get overwhelmed or burned out by it
  19. Start a garden
  20. Pay off bills, reduce debt, save more money, be financially more stable
  21. Have a job where I'm happy, appreciated, motivated, and I can make a difference
  22. Find a humble little home for our family
  23. Read more books
  24. Continue to count my blessings
And the list continues to grow, but I don't feel overwhelmed, just very excited that I have so much to look forward to during this year.

What are your new year's resolutions? What do you hope for in 2009?

Dreaming of 2009...what about YOU?

Little Rosie, dreaming peacefully in my lap...



What are your hopes, dreams, aspirations, and notions for 2009? What are you looking forward to? What do you want to leave behind in 2008? What is something new that you'd like to try, do, experience, feel, see? Where do you see yourself a year from now?

I'm curious to hear from you all. I've been seeing some very inspirational quotes, thoughts, insights, and images from all over the blogosphere, and I must say they've made quite an impact on me in just the past few hours.

So what about you?
