Blogfest!

Hey everybody,

I hope you've survived the cookies, the family gatherings, and the year end review and resolving with your sanity at least mostly intact. Being my biggest accomplishment for 2010 was surviving it, I am first of all resolving not to look back on it too much in-depth. Maybe years from now. Right now, looking ahead is the much better way to go. Second, I'm resolving not to make any other resolutions this year.

I came upon Vicki's Eye Candy Blogfest at the last minute but being as grateful as I am for the sight I can use, I couldn't resist so here's my entry. She asked for a (PG rated- this appears to be an all-ages friendly blogfest...) picture that makes you smile. It can be anything as long as it makes you smile every time you look at it. There are 39 other entries as I type this so I hope you'll check some of them out too, I'm looking forward to it.

So here we go.

I think it pretty much speaks for itself. I hope it makes you smile too.

I should be back to posting with decent regularity at least, I hope, in the days ahead. I do still have to conserve my vision and more importantly I don't want to talk unless I really have something to say- you know how it is around here. I value your time, and I come here to really interact with you, so I will try to make my posts count in the new year and beyond.

I want to thank all of you for your support and many kindnesses to me in 2010, some of which have simply appeared in my life in the most unexpected, amazing, and serendipitous ways...I am grateful beyond words!

Hoping that 2011 brings you everything good, bright, and happy!

xoxo

PS Sorry if you're reading this in a reader and get it twice- I HAD to fix my typo when I realized I'd misspelled Vicki's name. Sorry, Vicki!

Since I'm here anyway- here's that other picture. After losing two babies to miscarriage, I couldn't believe it the day I brought her home (took this that day. She has always been so curious about everything- still is.)
