I sat down with a note book this morning, recalling my last year’s goals and aspirations and penning new ones for 2010. Looking back, it’s been a year of ups and downs – very normal – but on the overall, I am thankful.

This year will be exciting as we plan for our move to down under. On the personal front, DH isn’t that prepared mentally but I’m all set! Apart from all the packing that I would need to do, I can’t wait to start a new life else where. I’m always the one who get all the packing done at home and I can’t imagine how much there is to move! I need to pack up DH’s Mopar parts, my son’s books and preschool work and my personal belongings – and I have lots to pack!

Well, before I know it, they will all be done and I can look back and say that ‘its another good year’ in one year’s time. That’s optimism, I suppose and it is always good to start the new year in a positive way.
