Saying Good-bye to the Old and Hello to the New

It’s nice to be letting 2010 go. I’m always glad to move on, at least most of the time. Somehow I was trained or birthed, not sure which, to be an optimist in some respects: especially that the new year will bring good things...Granted I've not always been right about that, but I always anticipate the best (and prepare for the worst!).

I’ve been mulling over plans for the upcoming year and trying hard to recognize that I didn’t do much on last year’s plans of how many things I’d create or what type of things I wanted to do, but I did do the ONE big goal I set for myself last year and that was to reach Lifetime on Weight Watchers and then maintain my weight loss.

And that’s a whole lot more important than saying I knit 3 shawls, I’m just sayin’.

I can’t total up my knitted items for you, because I still have so many of them to gift this weekend! I’ll do a wrap up next week, I guess. (Hint: I did NOT knit 3 shawls)

Then there was the trip to Vermont, and becoming Nana to a baby girl. Not that I had much to do with the latter, dontcha know? But lovely things that happened nonetheless.

Oh, and there’s ONE more thing I’m pleased about this year. This little guy.

He wasn't planned for, either, but he makes The Meezer’s life better (mostly). He makes mine better, too, because for all that he’s a mess, he’s a lover-boy...he has the sunniest nature, and not much gets him down.

Ok...there was that little “issue” this morning when he jumped The Meezer and wouldn’t let her be...(she commenced hissing and growling and screaming, which didn’t seem to phase him!). I had to separate the two (all this before I had my coffee even).

But then, just like most little boys, he “found” a toy (his crinkle ball) and immediately began a game of chase. They can be so easily distracted, you know? Um. Yes, little boys, big boys, boy kitties...easily distracted by toys.
*wink*
Ok...I'm getting myself out of this one fast!
Happy New Year!
