After having a movie night out with my wonderful husband (we watched unstoppable and I think i did jump out of my seat at one point) and a casual celebration at the neighbors house, I find myself sitting on the couch contemplating the great blessings of 2010 and anticipate the great learning and joys that might come in 2011.
2010
:: Mateo turned two
::Sophia could tell everyone that she is seven
:: The children and I traveled to Germany for whole four weeks.
:: Mateo fell in love with Opa.
:: I had my 20 year anneversary get together with my three girl friends. Yay, Tati, Mirjana and Carola.
:: Laughter, friendship, understanding, compassion, freedom are words that come to mind remembering the above.
:: Theodore submitted the charter petition. (Congratulations and all my fingers crossed!)
:: I started my fourth year teaching.
:: Our first cousin and niece was born.
:: Happy Birthday, Ellie!!!
:: I got back on track with a daily meditation routine.
:: Thank you, Erica!
:: Realized that I can do what ever I set myself to do.
:: Took walks with my dear friend and mentor Barbara. (I will miss you more than I think I am realizing right now!)
:: Learned to juggle family, full time teaching, flute teaching and yoga teaching. (Sort of, with exceptions of days were the laundry was not folded for days, Sophia's hair not brushed, and the morning activity quickly put together at school the morning of.)
:: I felt happy where I am and the book my life is continuing to write.
:: Yay to my last year in my 20th!
2011
:: Feel stronger in knowing what I want.
:: Feel calm and secure.
:: Know that anything is possible that I want to be possible.
:: Implement the knowing that everything will be ok.
:: Determination and patience will bring change.
:: Strengthen the believe of betterment and change in myself and others.
:: Focus on the treasured moments.
:: Make those moments count.
:: See the joy in the small things.
:: Know that I am happy.
:: Contentment dwells in my heart.
Writing these words, thinking and reflecting a little on these busy times, makes me happy and at peace. There is so much to be thankful for. Our little family vacation time has showed this to me again. I experienced our vacation where I focused on seeing the positive, the beautiful, the happy moments. Life is a pleasure to live.
I want my little family to know that I am happy to have each and everyone in it. My care for them inspires me to be a better person; to learn to love more, to appreciate more, to know better what I want, to express myself clearer, and to carefully listen.
With that lets toast on to a New Year. Happy, happy 2011!
