It's A New Year Approaching - What Are You Grateful For?

As I reflect on 2009 I see that I have so much to be grateful for.  I had the great pleasure of being introduced to many new people, some of whom I know will be lifelong friendships.  My wish for the new decade is that I will have time to spend with each and everyone of those people in my life that are important to me.  My parents, although both having had a difficult year are getting ready to take yet another winter trip to Sanibel Island and I am grateful that are still able to do that.  I am grateful for those friends I can truly count on one hand.  You know that ones that will stand by you at any cost.  I am fortunate to have that in my life.  I am extremely blessed to have participated in many wonderful shows this past year and won another Best of Show in Deerfield, Massachusetts.  My wish is to be able to expand this year into the Pennsylvania area.  I hope that I am able to slow down, appreciate each day and smile, everyday.

  2. Hi,
    this has been a hard year I lost both of my parents this year. My mom had MS and was completely bedridden and died april 1st and then my dad couldn't live without her and passed away on Sept. 2nd. So I guess I am grateful that I was there with her the first part of year helping her and just be able to sit and talk to her when she was in so much pain I remember her grabbing my hand and rubbing it against her cheek and smiling. And being there for my dad, taking him meals and to doctors appointment. So be grateful for your parents and spend as much time as you can with them, you never know. Sorry this is long post, you never know what you have until you lose it.

  3. Happy New Year! We meet so many wonderful people through the internet, and many of them have severe health issues that we are not always aware of since we don't meet them in person. It has made me very grateful for my good health. My occasional aches are so trivial compared to many. I am also grateful that I was able to spend some wonderful days with my Dad before he passed away a couple months ago. Moments can be precious and I'm grateful for time spent with loved ones.

    My wish for the coming year is for people who are alone and struggling. My wish is that they find resources to get back on their feet and find love and friendship in the process.
