tommygirl's blog post - 2006

I have heard many of you over the past couple of weeks proclaim 2005 as being the best or worst of years and for some even a combination of both. Perhaps it is my nature but I always fear labeling anything as best or worst. I guess it is the fear that things could always be worse be for and there is always room for improvement in everyone and everything.

I am grateful for my family and friends and my health and the the fact that despite some illness among my family we are still doing quite well. I suffered this year with mono as did my daughter but again that is so minor compared to how terribly others have suffered. My triumphs this year FAR outweigh my strifes.

We would all like to lose that nagging 5-10 lbs.....quit smoking (I don't smoke but its a common resolution) but for me this year I am setting goals about personal bests. I want to be the best mom I can possibly be, the best daughter, aunt, sister etc. Life is a gift and its also what you make it. Best wishes for health and happiness amongst my dear friends here at nn.

A serious TG tonight.....
(I promise I won't make it a habit this year)
