Today is the last day of 2008. I realize that might be rather obvious to most, but I it just sunk in for me last night. What can I say, it’s been busy.
If you know me, you know I’m a very nostaglic person to say the least. Things like realizing on 1/1/08 that THIS was the year I was getting married or that in “x” months we would own a home. So yea, I’m a touch sentimental.
2008 truly has been a good year. I married a truly amazing boy, became part of a wonderful extended family, got to spend time with my family during all the festivities, was overwhelmed with love, friendship and joy to the point I thought I would burst, purchased our first home, survived another year at work and in some cases even thrived. Oh sure, maybe I have gained a few (or more than a few) pounds since the wedding when I began married life by drinking my way through the honeymoon, but that can all be dealt with.
I realize that despite a busy schedule and often overly-critical little voice in my head, I’m one pretty lucky lady. I’m almost glad to say goodbye to 2008 just b/c then I can pack it away in my memory, where I can cherise those perfect (and not so perfect) moments whenever I please. And though I’m a little supersticious, I’m still looking forward to 2009 and all that it has to offer, critical little voice and all.
