This time of year, from Thanksgiving to Christmas to New Year's, is an important time of year.
We're so busy and on the go;
partying, wrapping, contacting loved ones.
It's the time of year we send holiday cards to those who are dear to us.
The time of year we give gifts to those we love.
It's the time of year we enjoy life to the fullest with good food and parties.
A time to let go, have fun, and enjoy life to the fullest, while most worries are put on hold.
And it's important to take a moment during this time.
To appreciate what's important.
What IS important, Rhea?
Why, dear reader, I'm so glad you asked.

To me, what's important beyond all else, is family and friends
and figuring out my place in this world.
Helping my boys get a good start on their life,
and finding the way to make the most of mine.
Today is my moment to pause, to take stock of my life, to plan ahead, and to make decisions.
And I plan to take on the New Year head on.
with my family.
with my plan.
Bring it on, 2009, bring it on.
Tomorrow I will hit the "play" button with purpose.

You are so right. I really need to find that pause button. I seem to be running in fast forward.
May the new year make dreams you didn't even know you had all come true.
I generally don't like odd numbers .. and odd number years usually feel off to me. But I think this one is going to be great!
Happy 2009, Rhea!
