A new year begins....and another year of the Durbs Blurbs Blog. Looking back through the year....and even reading thru some of the previous 3 years of blog posts...it is amazing where we all were, and where we have come. New Years Day is full of resolutions on what we want to do better for ourselves in the coming year....maybe lose weight, work out more, eat healthier, remember people's birthdays, save some money, visit family more often, keep in touch with old friends....whatever it is, we can always think of things that might "improve" our live for the coming year. While I agree that is noble, and that we all need goals and things we should aspire to do and seek, I also like to take some time to be proud of all the things we have accomplished in the past year. Looking back, all I see are the best of memories....wonderful times with family and friends!! I wouldn't change my years for anything.....we truly live a very blessed life, and if you don't believe me, just spend a day reading thru the last 4 years of the blog history!!!!
Funny story....One day in Feb 2008, Vince and I had written a "wish list" of things we wanted to do or accomplish in the year. It was on a scratch piece of paper, and I ended up "losing" it. Well, about a month ago, I found it. It was very funny and very reflective of the time we were at in our lives, as to what was on that list. There were very simple things (a new coffee maker), and very big wishful things (someday getting married) on that list!! Most of our "wishes" had come true by the time I found the list again....without us even remembering that we wished for them. It definitely made for a good chuckle!! And made us remember...oh ya, we still wanna do that?! All the important things to us were accomplished though....even a new coffee maker....oh yeah, and the whole wedding thing too.
I guess my point is....that if you want something, and it truly benefits your life...and you work hard toward thats goal...sometimes without even realizing it or remembering that you sat up one night "wishing" for it......your dreams really do come true! Ok, the "win the lotto" one never did get checked off....but hey, we gotta leave SOMETHING for the next year! I am putting that one back on my list for 2011.
Anyways...HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!! I am thankful you are all in our lives......and I truly hope that all your dreams do come true for you in 2011!! :)
