* credit where credit is due...i'm cyber stealing my dear friend Christy's idea, with love and hugs to her for being so brilliant! *
sitting in our little apartment
no pictures to share from a birthday, hannukah, christmas eve, christmas day, dinner, puppy-love, or new years eve as they were just accidentally erased
(yup...that really did just happen...seriously, every photo on my camera-g.o.n.e.)
i'm thinking that G-d, in his infinite wisdom somehow KNEW i needed to begin this year with
a
clean
slate
filling up on delicious racclette
drinking waaay too much apple-pomegranate juice
relishing a phone call
reflecting on 2010
and wondering
just what will happen
in 2011
i went for a blog walk
started looking at my favorite places to lurk
where friends i know and friends i'll never actually meet
go
to share the labors and loves of their own lives.
and in the middle rests this:
no more resolutions, just REALLY cool lists-
lists of the things that make life
happy
exciting
maybe a little scary as we venture outside a comfort zone
full.
really full.
so here is MY contribution to what casa h might need in order to be really cool
(in no particular order, but because i AM a teacher, i'm counting down from 10 to 1)
10. get our puppy to walk DOWN the stairs before he is over 25 pounds and I can't carry him forever.
9. teach my children the importance of handwritten communication over texting or email
8. go to a cooking class somewhere exotic
7. become the hot wifey to a US SF retiree!!!!
6. play more music in our house-all kinds
5. read a book alongside each of our three littles so we can actually DISCUSS what's happening as we read
4. move off the bunny slope...in more ways than even I know
3. dance with my husband on a beach
2. (this is a real 2-fer) take a stab at relearning my HS French AND improving my get out of jail German
1. go to craptastic ohio
live in the NOW, by doing all of these things and then, make another really cool list!
Guten Rutsch (mit umarmen und lieben)
Willkommen 2011
