2010 was a tough year. I lost my Josie, who I was nanny/friend to for many years. Her family was my family and I don't think England will ever be the same for me.
Sean lost his mother and Richard and Emily lost their grandmother, Stella. Another devastating blow!
This was also a year of excitement. Richard started driving! I went with the Chorus to sing beautiful music in lovely venues. Sean started his MBA (this should go on the tough list too). Emily has become quite an exceptional singer and performed solos at church.
I am both proud of my children and sad too. We have raised smart and independant children. As such we are definately not their primary source for anything anymore ~ except $ and once they have jobs, even that will be taken away from us.
I can't speak for Sean, Richard and Emily but...
my personal hopes for 2011 are that we stay connected as a family.
I hope to have more patience
I want to relieve myself of the burden of overthinking everything.
I want to be free to enjoy the moment.
I want to feel less guilt for things I can't change ~ such as other peoples opinions.
I want to learn more about the people I surround myself with ~ not just the superficial stuff
I want to be a better friend.
I want to laugh more.
I want to keep singing.
I want to eat delicious food, and not be thinking about how long it'll take to walk it off.
I DO want to get healthier ~ not necessarily thinner...although....
I want to be happy.What do YOU want?
