It is officially a New Year which is always exciting. Exciting because you can never know what it will have in store for you. You may think you do, but at the end of the day we must just take whatever comes our way. 2009 was so special to me for so many reasons. I was fortunate enough to share in the most beautiful wedding on earth. I was able to visit my friends in Eastern Canada and make new ones. I shared many wonderful runs with friends. Some in the heat, some in the cold. I shared a finishing line with my son, another with 3 girlfriends, and yet another with a very dear neighbour. I conquered Mordor with M. and A. and survived the war wounds that came with the battle. I shared in some very special milestone birthdays. I learned how to share my daughter with a her boyfriend. I shared a special moment in Ottawa as I watched my father thank so many folks who have made his life the success that it is. I shared in a moment with my mother and aunt that will be shared with generations to follow. I shared meals, concernts, sports events. I have shared memories, secrets, success, renovations, wine, tears and laughter. I shared a wonderful vacation with friends and came home with a new home in the east which I cannot wait to share with all of you. I shared another year with a man who makes my heart flutter each time he enters a room. All and all, a very good year.
So I bid 2009 a fond farewell and thank all of you who shared it with me - I am so thankful for your generosity of spirit and time. May 2010 bring you all health, happiness and many moments with the folks who mean the most to you.
