Gosh, I have so much to be grateful for this year. It hasn’t been an easy year, but there were so many precious moments along the way. Here are five things that stood out to me about 2009, not in any particular order.
- Touring the city. I love living near a major city. This year, we took advantage of it by visiting gardens, museums, the zoo, parks, events and festivals. My parents taught me to appreciate culture and the arts. I would like to pass that on to my children.
- My teammate. Nathan and I have contrasting strengths and weaknesses. He is the sports type, I’m the dance type. He is the entrepreneur, I am the writer. He is the calm one, I have OCD tendencies. But it works well for us, very well. We work as a team and complement each other with our strengths and weaknesses.
- BFFs. Nathan and I have some of the greatest friends in the world. These are friends that we even consider family. And although we may be living in several different states, we still keep in touch and talk like we have never been apart.
- Crazy ideas. That is what keeps me thriving.
- SMM readers. I cannot thank you enough for reading Simply Modern Mom. As with any writer and bloggers, I often wonder if anyone cares about any thing I write about. But week after week, my readership numbers continue to double from the previous week. Thank you for your support and comments. I love reading them.
