Oh Yes!! 2009 Baby!!






Hello All!!
I hope that everyone has made it into 2009 in one piece (possibly a little tattered, but one piece none the less). I have to say that I had a difficult 2008....it sucked really! I am so excited about the possibilities that 2009 holds. Out with the old (a president that shall remain nameless) and in with the new (Obama!!). I know that times are hard all around the world right now. I am bringing up this point to say that life is what you make of it. I am choosing now to concentrate on the things that matter most to me and that make me happy (family, friends, my home, career, my significant other and of course my girls, Betty and Goldie). If you think about it, happiness is all you can really ever ask for. There will always be some dark cloud somewhere because life is unpredictable. Hey, think of it as a bad surprise party! You just have to get through it until all the guests go home. Then you discard any unwanted or just tacky presents, clean up and forever forget the person's name that threw the party. Now you can then get on with the rest of your life. 
See how easy that was??!!
Anyway, I would like to leave you with a few inspirational images that make me happy. One of the pictures is of my visit to Moire's part of the world and another will be of my visit to Silk's part of the world. The other's are a few of my favorite things (Hum the song in your head as you view the photos if you like. I will start you off..."Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens....")

Remember,
Be Happy, Love and Be Loved, and of course...Make Things Beautiful!!

Here, here! Bring on 2009 and good-bye to 2008. I'm happy to see the back of it too.

One thing I noticed last year, when on a plane, which made me think of things in a different way. However grey it is down here on the ground, the sun is always shining above the clouds. Soon the clouds will clear and the sun will shine again.

My tip is to keep a little light in your life. Exercise in the open air and try to get outside when the sun is shining. When you are at home have a candle burning in your hearth or on your mantle (being candle-safe or course).

Welcome to 2009, it can only be better than last year!
