Happy New Year

Looking back at 2011
What were my successes?
I welcomed a new member to my family. Dexter, a wheaten terrier puppy. I learned a lot about raising him and took a class to teach him the necessities. I also learned patience and to love him.
I sent Lindsey to a summer camp that really helped her grow in confidence and gave her a new best friend and a lot of fun trips.
I went to the top of the empire state building with the two people I love most.
Brought my girl to see my favorite musical Wicked. We sat up close orchestra level.
I brightened a Veteran’s day with some cookies.
I made an impact on parents and staff of L’s elementary school and made them money by heading the book fair committee.
I continued to nurture good friendships.
I took my parents to Disneyworld for the first time in their lives.
I threw my daughter a fabulous mock-sleepover party for her 7th birthday.
I flew in a tethered hot-air balloon and made a date to fly in a real one.
I took my daughter to Washington DC.
I went to the Renaissance Faire for the first time.
I learned how to camp and slept outside in 30 degree temps.
Drove Lindsey in to NYC for the first time in my life.
I learned a lot about ADHD and I made a goal for myself to educate others.
I finally got my teaching license requirements in order.
I reconciled with my father’s family, especially my cousin.
