For me, 2009 will be the year remembered best for:
- Seeing my oldest daughter blossom in Grade One. I was a mess the first day she went into her full day school. She has been doing well. In fact, her French has surpassed mine. Her enthusiasm, courage, "go-for-it" attitude, has encourage me to go after my dreams
- Fulfilling one of my dreams of teaching yoga. Being able to share my passion and love for yoga has been a dream come true. It was a matter of realizing that I don't have to be the best yogi. Perhaps being so imperfect makes students relate to me a little more? Usually shy and tongue-tied around strangers, I am amazed that I am able to teach large groups of people. I'm even more amazed that they come back for more. Hehe.
- Seeing my shy 3-year-old come out of her shell. Always in the shadow of her gregarious older sister, my little one has finally found her own voice. Shy, sweet and reserved, she has found a way to so "NO!" with authority (or is this just a threes thing?).
- Closing a stressful chapter in my husband's career. After working 11 years in a company that has been "restructuring" non-stop, and having survived rounds and rounds of lay-offs, he is going to work for a new company! Dec 31st was the last day of his employment with the old company. It's a new page in his career and I'm so happy for him.
- Deciding that it doesn't matter that even though I'm not the most articulate writer, imaginative photographer, accomplished seamstress, etc., I can still have a lot of fun blogging! I never imagine that blogging could be something I'd enjoy. It does help that I have such awesome, supportive readers such as you! So, thank you! Thank you!
Not a day goes by, that I am not glad that I'm reminded why I love my husband.
Not a day goes by, that I am not humbled by my daughters' spirit and vitality.
Not a day goes by that I am not aware of the privileged life that I live.
I hope this new year brings you peace, joy and fulfillment.

Happy new year to you too, my dear! I consider myself to be very lucky to have you for a real life, and now online, friend. All the best in 2010. :)
And congrats to N on the new job! We know firsthand how unstable that place is, and living in fear of "is today the day I get axed?" is so stressful and unhealthy. I'm glad he's finally out of there. :)
Much love to all of you, and we hope to see you again soon this new year. xoxoxoxo
Life has a way of always twisting and turning, but in the end there is always sunshine if you look hard enough. I hope 2010 is a healthy, happy and great year for you and your family.
