Happy New Year Folks!

I'm writing this wishing everyone out there a safe and Happy New Year!

The last few hours of the year always ignite a curiosity of what my life would have been going in to the new year had I made different choices. I can't help but wonder what would be if I'd done this over that or said that instead of this. I don't necessarily wish to change anything but I do wonder what my new year would hold had I made different choices.

Regardless of those curiosities I'm always hopeful that the new year will hold more good than bad, more happiness than sadness and more joy than tears.

For the first time in my life I know what part of the new year will hold for me and I know it is a huge blessing.

In February my daughter will be born.

As much as I do not know what parenthood will hold for me, as much as I worry about her health and if I'll be a good mom to her I do know that she has been an unexpected blessing in my life and I'm excited to see her, to hold her, and love her as much as, if not more than, any parent has loved a child before. :)

So, from us to you Happy New Year and may all your hopes for 2010 be realized.
