2010

I have read so many wonderful things and extremely sad things that happened in 2010.  Sometimes, all of it becomes a big blur of runny noses, insects, beach scenes, Cades Cove, dinosaurs, cake baking, and cat urine.  Needless to say, the year seemed to pass extremely fast.  I have no extremely terrible thing that happened to me this year (Thank you, Lord).  Every day that I got to spend with my family was a blessing, so I guess the entire year was good.  I think one of the best things that happened was getting to see Jackson experience the beach for the first time.  Other firsts for him included riding a pony, going to the fair, and learning to write his letters.  That boy is such a blessing, and he brings out the best in everyone with whom he comes in contact.  I would like everyone who reads this to remember all those who lost loved ones during 2010.  Some lost parents, siblings, friends, and even children.  I can't imagine the pain they feel every single day.  I hope everyone continues to remember them in their prayers.  I pray that 2011 is a much happier year for all of them.  So I raise a glass to 2010 ... You weren't always kind, but you were ALWAYS interesting!  Happy New Year!
