Reflection(s)

Happy 2006! I have no idea where 2005 went. Many other bloggers have been re-capping their year month by month, but I don't think I have the energy for that. Some memorable moments include:

• The best memorial service I've ever been to - - for the HUSband's grandmother.
• A touching wedding ceremony of some dear friends. And some crazy fun following the reception complete with the bride on a treadmill in the hotel's fitness center.
• A fantastic girls' trip - my first cruise. :)
• Loosing a friend. She didn't die, nothing quite so drastic. But we're not friends anymore, and it's still hard.
• My family finally organizing a three-generation trip to see the family land in Louisiana only to have our plans squashed by Katrina.
• Taking on more responsibility at work, and actually having it noticed and valued.
• Being there for a childhood friend as she went through her 2nd divorce. Who woulda thought when we met on the bus in 8th grade that we'd be there for each other all these years later?
• Hosting Thanksgiving - using our china for the first time!
• A whirlwind December including two trips to the HUSband's parents, one to my Mom's and hosting my Uncle and Aunt for a week.

I rarely make true resolutions, and share them even more rarely. In 2006, I hope to:

• Find and make more time for myself
• take better care of myself, mentally and physically
• be a good wife
• be a good friend
• be a good daughter (and daughter-in-law)
• be a good granddaughter and treasure my Granny
• travel more

Best of luck to you as you make it through each day of this new year as well.
