Time wounds all heals?

One thing I have learned is that life moves on...whether you want it to or not. I've been looking back at 2010 and it's been a tough year. I will not fall into the the trap of saying that 2011 has to be better because there is nothing that fate likes better than a challenge. A few highlights/lowlights of this year:

January started with me still out of work and spending a week with my sister from another mister while she underwent life changing/saving surgery. I'm sure we were different from the normal patients they have there...there's not much that this duo of divas can't find to laugh at. In a conscious decision Sprinkles had decided NOT to let this affect her normal self. A decision I completely agreed with...

February I finally became employed again...a job I like, company I like, making 1/3 of what I used to make...welcome to the new economy.

Spring and Summer progressed fairly normally - got back into the swing of working everyday...helped Sprinkles as I could with Chemo side effects, wish I could have done more. My daughter went to spend her summer off from college with her grandparents instead of coming home, she wanted to spend some time with them.

In August I flew up to spend a few days with them (my parents and my daughter) and had a wonderful time. And if you have read any of my other entries you know that very shortly I would lose mom to her COPD.

But as hard as this year was, some good things happened too...I met some great people at my job, several friends are expecting babies in the new year...spent some really nice time with family and friends. I have found an infinite amount of love coming my way from the people around me.

Christmas will be here very soon and while I know I will miss my mom, I know she wouldn't want us to dwell on it. I love her and she knows that. So I'm hoping for a happy holiday with family and friends. So far it's looking pretty good... :)

too many people I love are in pain...lets all just take a chair and watch the world go by.








Love you people.
