Third time's the charm!!

Ok, so I really am determined to blog seriously in 2009. Happy New Year by the way. Happy New Year to me! So much happened in 2008, that I wish I'd been disciplined enough to keep account of everything that I did. I travelled, made new friends, got my heart bruised a couple of times and lost and then gained back some weight. I discovered some great blogs, great musicians, became enamored with the election process, and witnessed the election of the first African American president. I became an aunt for the second time over, and became a god mother for the third time over. I watched the economy take a nosedive, watched as people lost their jobs, homes, and their health. I survived the first round of layoffs at work, with the specter of another round coming in the New Year. I completed my graduate degree, with the thought of completing a couple of professional exams in the New Year. I started writing my first children's book, still working on it. Yep, so many experiences in 2008, the good, the bad and the ugly, and by God's grace I made it through to 2009 thankful I'm still standing. So here's praying that I am disciplined enough share my thoughts and experiences in this New Year. If 2009 is anything like 2008, then there'll be tons to share and I'm excited!!
