With the New Year now upon us, I figured it'd be a good thing to just stop and rest, and count my blessings of 2008. When I think about the past year, I realize that a lot happened, and there's a lot to be thankful for. So before looking ahead and figuring out what I'd like to accomplish in '09, there might be some merit in looking back first.
The count begins (in no particular order aside from the process in which my brain chooses to remember things)...
- fabulous new job... not as much glitz and publicity, but pretty darn awesome nonetheless... i mean, c'mon! nerf wars! :)
- beautiful baby niece
- lessons learned from the old job that's helping tremendously in this new one
- talent for what I do
- trip to the bahamas
- closer friendships and deeper relationships
- time spent catching up one-on-one
- Blitz girls
- Blitz TNS multisport
- Penitrace
- ETCBC
- Sketchpad ministries getting it's name and hitting the ground running
- Better By The Dozen
- etcbcvolleyball
- not injuring myself/breaking anything during the plethora of sports I've played in addition to learning to snowboard (still learning btw)
- new friendships and rekindling of old ones
- going to California, being in my cousin's wedding, seeing my cousins, spending time with nieces and nephews
I'm sure there's a ton more that I've yet to acknowledge, but this in and of itself is already a pretty comprehensive list. When I look at it, it kinda sums up everything that happened in 2008 that comes to mind. Anyway, God's been remarkably good to an undeserving child. It should be interesting to see what 2009 brings.
