feeling...

on this last day of 2008...

*relieved (to finally be back home and have the house to ourselves)

*intense craving (for a return to "routine")

*exhausted (by the last month and a half)

*overwhelmed (by all that needs done in the next few weeks)

*sadness (that Rich is soon leaving for two weeks)

*dread (that Rich is soon leaving for two weeks)

*intimidated (by the number on Google Reader)

*calmed (by the sight outside the window--a beautiful eight inches of snow fell overnight and it's still coming down hard)

*worried (about how many times it will do that while Rich is gone)

*excited (by the thought of a new year--it just always feels like a new chance to do things better)

*extreme gratitude (for my life--just the way it is)

I love your last one. Gratitude. I, too, have much to be thankful for and should remember that in the midst of all the resolving. Welcome home!

I have much to be thankful for, but cannot wait for 2008 to be over. Had an annus horribilis this year where things which were beyond my control happened and I am looking so much forward to 2009 which I am determined shall be better. I will definitely work for it to be a better year than 2008.

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND SEE YOU IN 2009!

*hugs* Welcome back Debi-I've missed you!! And I love how you did this post. :) If I were you, I'd just make everything read in Google Reader, and catch up on blogs if/when you feel like it. That way there's no pressure!

I figured that you had been mega stressed lately with the holidays! I know it's a very busy time of the year for you. But it's so good to hear from you again. Happy New Year to you Debi!!!

It's SO good to see you posting again! Welcome back, my dear.

I'm sorry about those two weeks without Rich :( But hopefully they'll go by fast. And we'll be here to distract you in the meantime :P

I'll write you with more time tomorrow, but I just wanted to say Happy New Year!!

Also...I feel a lot of gratitude too.

I wish I could feel calmed by the snow. I still have to drive home in it and shovel my driveway... Then, maybe I will feel a bit better!
