I never could have imagined what an exciting and growing year 2007 would be. From a new career for me, to a company closure for my H. From one child being accepted into a gifted program, to the other excelling in piano. From being sued for $575K to H being rear ended twice on the freeway, and having to testify at a criminal trial against a habitual drunk. From securing $22,000 in grant funding for the local school to losing my favourite garden shears. From having a furnace kack off in March, to quitting my job in November. From family holidays camping, hiking and skiing, to a work trip to California for me, and 27 work trips for H. From making a new good friend (that’s you Richard) to getting to know old ones better.
Wow. Did I mention someone hitting the garage?…..
It’s been rich, and wonderful. I’d be lying if I said that I wouldn’t trade any of it, but I know I am stronger and better for all of it. We’ve had our health and humour to carry us through. As a family we’ve become closer than ever, and the kids are still thrilled to hang out with us.
I hope that you’ve all had a good year, and that you’ve managed to tackle your challenges wearing your rose coloured glasses.
Happy New Year Friends.
