Happy New Year


2010. Wow.

I can remember being in elementary school thinking ahead to the year 2010 - knowing that this would be the year that I turn 50. And I remember thinking..."wow, that's really old!" Now, not so much!

It's here. 2010. And I'm not so old. In fact, in my heart, I still feel as young as that child I once was.

We toasted the New Year with a bottle of Sparkling White Grape Juice which Brillo Man had chilled in the snow outside - then I lit a couple fireworks while Olivia lit some sparklers and danced around doing a Happy New Year dance - filled with excitement and life - bouncing and bubbling all over the place!

Brillo Man watched her dance and commented, "oh, to be seven again..." And then he promptly went to bed!

I'm still here - dancing - if only in my heart!

Happy New Year Everyone! May the Lord fill this coming year with blessings. And may you walk ever closer to His side, recognizing His faithfulness and love which He bestows upon His children in abundance!

yes, oh to be young .. dancing at midnight with sparklers in the snow, sipping sparkling cider. 50 is just a number ... it only has a hold on you if you lose your child-like spirit. Not gonna happen Deb!
