This past decade, which I am not sure what to call it as the 70s, 80s and 90s just came natural to say, I guess it is the two thousands?? Anyway it was a very eventful decade for me, full of huge highs and very, very lows. I saw marriages come and go, eventually marrying my soul-mate. I had friendships disappear and re-emerge. I saw the birth of a child only to him taken from me. I got to see the birth of another child and feel the joy of having her look up at me and smile.
I got ten years older but luckily it only feels like 5 ;) But it was the decade of hitting the big four-O. I moved more times than I can count, partially because I lost my home to a hurricane and lived for 4 years in a motor home. Which I would not trade for the world except to have Noah with me.
My career got on-track, then off-track, took a huge turn the other direction on a new set of tracks. I got my moment in the spotlight by having the One Shoe Diaries highlighted on national TV, but hopefully that was not just a flash in the pan *LOL*
I am not going to go into detail about the events of the decade, as I am pretty much sure I have covered them all thoroughly in my blog. However, It is amazing to me how much can happen in ten years when they seem to go by so fast. Which makes me wonder how much will happen over the next decade, how I know it will seem to go fast so I need to try and soak up each day and take it as a blessing. I also know life is not easy and there will be some hard times mixed in, just hopefully they will not outweigh the good ones.
And so I make my New Years resolutions with every intent to follow through on them, but knowing full well most will fall within the first month. I am not going to mention what they are because they may be like birthday wishes and you cannot tell anyone or they will not come true :)
I wish every a great new decade, and that your good times will outshine the bad and that you may be healthy and achieve at least one of your goals. And if there is one bit of advice I have learned from the past decade is to never lose faith in what you believe in and pursue those dreams because they really can become a reality.
