Happy New Year

The year of ’08 is done
We are sad to say good bye to all the fun
We look forward to the year of ‘09
Can’t wait to see what fun we will have this time.

Best wishes to you and yours
For you, we pray blessings and good health pours
With joy and not tears
We wish you a Happy New Year!

Ode to My Blog

I had resisted starting a blog for a number of reasons: becoming public gives you very little room to hide, becoming public opens you up to public criticism, and becoming public reveals not only your strengths but magnifies your weaknesses. Since going public, I have discovered a sense of confidence and personal satisfaction that I had not counted on.

I love blogging. I have missed blogging. The attack on our computer,the loss of our external hard drive have been extremely difficult for me. So I am glad to say, I am back. Whether this blog ever gets read or not, I am going to persist.

I love blogging. I love research and I love writing so putting the two together is kind of fun. With blogging I have an outlet.

I love blogging. I am a wife to one strong man and mom to two adorable boys. As the only woman in a house of boys, I many times feel nobody is listening to me. Whether the blog is read or not, somehow by writing/typing it down, I feel like someone is listening.

I love blogging. I have been a home mom for three years. I do miss the daily dish you have with co-workers around the water cooler/coffee pot. A blog gives me a chance to put my two cents into the pool.

Our computer has been revived, so I am back. My kids are home for the winter break so for a little longer the posts will be random, but I have great hope for the future.

Thanks for dropping by. Read ya' Later.
