Raise your hand if you’re still recovering from Christmas.
That would be me, too. I’ve been an organizing fool, playing mean games of Hungry Hungry Hippos, wondering just how many Legos are too many, trying to entertain a stir-crazy 5 year old who is thrilled beyond words at not having to go to school the past couple of weeks, and working on top of that. I’ve also been organizing my blogs lists online because Bloglines broke my heart by changing how their feed reader now displays. All I can say is NOT A FAN. I’ve been trying to learn to love the Google Reader, but it’s hard to read and enjoy because it seems like the display area to read in is so little. If you have any suggestions on feed readers to try, I am all ears.
I started this post with the intent of looking back on my blogging and life in general this year and reflecting on what it all meant, what I need/want to change, and all of that, but frankly…I’m ready to look forward. Our family will be going through some major lifestyle changes this upcoming year. I’m at peace with these changes, but the not knowing what’s next or when it will happen is killing me. I do love me some control, and I have none over these upcoming things, which of course just makes me crazy with wondering. However, I’m determined to put my best foot forward in these situations and (try to) keep an upbeat attitude. One door closes, another opens and all that jazz. Since I have no idea what’s next and when, I’ll share these things as they unfold. I promise we’re ok, though. The bottom line is we are together and we have each other and THAT is where I choose to focus this nervous energy.
With all of that said (and if anyone is still reading), I do want to thank each one of you for coming in and reading my blog. Three years into blogging, it’s still exciting and fun, although a little different each year. But I love this. I really, really love this.
I hope 2011 is everything you want it to be and more. I’ll close with the following verse that I pray for us all:
May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. Psalms 20:4 (NIV).
Happy New Year!
