As it is the last day of the year 2005, I like to reflect on the past year, which brought much change how I look at things and what is truly important to me…First I was going to use the questions Leann and Blest with Sons have used to reflect on the year, but I am just using the questions to guide my thoughts…
As I said, I (we) have made a lot of changes in 2005, and one of them was to no longer eat McD’s. We had more than one reason, but the main reason was, we watched the movie “Super Size Me“. That changed our habits regarding fast foods (actually that is too long to explain in this post – so maybe a topic for My Lighter Side in 2006).
One of the questions Blest has on her blog: Did you fall in love in 2005? Let me put it this way: I realized what a wonderful, awesome, kind, loving husband I have and I fell in love with him all over. Does that make sense? But you are married 22 years, you say? You know what, sometimes we don’t realize how much we love someone, until God uses some events that changes our understanding of a relationship…Although my short-comings as a wife are a little hard to swallow sometimes, I am glad that the Lord has put me on a new path concerning my marriage! Refreshing indeed!
Another major thing that has happened in 2005, my Sweetheart introduced me to blogging. He didn’t realize that he created a monster (running 3 blogs) in doing so…After I started blogging, I wanted to know more and more. How to created ‘pretty’ things with graphic programs, how to code things. Now I am always asking questions…But hey, that gives us something to chat about – right. I just wish my Sweetheart would blog again, but you see, he is a man of few words. But he created some cool artwork on his PC he could share…Well maybe in 2006.
Who/what did I miss in 2005? My mom spending time in Arizona. She used to come over every other year from Germany, but she has really bad Arthritis in her knees, so the long flight (12 hours with layovers) is too much for her *sigh*.
My goals for 2006: Being a even better wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, co-worker, employee; better writings on my blogs; traveling to San Carlos, Mexico; learn Italian; create “pretty things” with the PC; leading another women’s Bible study; and most of all – following the guidance of my Lord.
I wish all my friends and readers a
