My Harvest

In light of the tragedy that has hit my family and loved ones I considered not posting anything on the holiday, but the more I think about it, the more I find it appropriate to think about all of the accomplishements in my life. To take a look at all of the things I have to live for.

The past year has brought a lot of changes for me. My son is now three years old and he and I are both still in one piece. Any mother can attest that this is a major accomplishment. A few bumps and bruises along the way, mostly from my son tackling me, but we're still here!

Renovations are still coming along on my home (slowly), but I'm getting there. And once the market picks up and we can sell, my little monster ninja and I will get to move into a larger house...two car garage...a backyard...my own office...no more stairs...ahhh...the luxury...

I've really motivated myself to start writing my book, and I'm now on chapter seven. This is a project I never thought I would pick up again...but it's never too late :-)

I've found doctors and specialists to really listen and help me overcome the medical issues from my complications during my pregnancy with my son. It took 2 1/2 years to finally get here, but I feel like I'm heading in a good direction and am feeling better.

And traveling...I've always wanted to travel and see the world...last summer I spent 2 weeks traveling through England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland and this year I'll be spending a week in Salem celebrating Samhain (Halloween). Next year my son will be old enough to travel with me...we're going to drive to Williams and take the Grand Canyon Railroad to the Grand Canyon. He loves trains and I think he'll have a great time.

My job...who would have thought that I would actually end up in a position where I use my college degree? I've just received a promotion and am now the Event & Communications Coordinator for the school I work for.

So I've had a pretty full year, a lot of changes, a lot of accomplishments. And I'm actually looking forward to what this year has in store for me.

What are your accomplishments?
