I see you just commented on my blog, so hopefully that's a good sign that you're fine - perhaps experiencing a lil blog burn-out? We all do from time to time.<br /><br />Anyway, I love your synopsis of 2009. Especially happiness in finding your inner voice on your blog, and your desire to want to live more consciously. However, I will say that since I moved to KS I have become more of a homebody, and I make no apologies for that. My life has always been spent on the run in the city, busy, busy, busy with work and meeting friends and family ALL.THE.TIME. It was fun, but I love this change in my life. I have my hands into so many things here at home that I find I just do not have enough hours in the day to do all I want to do!<br /><br />So, I think that no apologies are needed if you enjoy being a homebody - doesn't that enrich your soul tons??! It does mine. :-)Girl Tornadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289862625817473671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949599201485766767.post-55941100462099183882010-01-15T14:35:26.811-05:002010-01-15T14:35:26.811-05:00Tell me about the snow in your neck of the words f...Tell me about the snow in your neck of the words from a week ago today.<br />Hope all is well.Michele Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17030846420862437581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949599201485766767.post-40987055617859195002010-01-15T13:49:42.289-05:002010-01-15T13:49:42.289-05:00It seems that you've had a fulfilling 2009 wit...It seems that you've had a fulfilling 2009 with realizations along the way.

I don't think I'd be as successful as you at remembering it all, though. <br /><br />Especially, congratulations on getting the truck and lawyer paid off! That's got to feel great.<br /><br />And this last week I've started walking with some moms in the neighborhood to get rid of my tummy roll. (All of them have dogs that walk off leash, so I know what you mean about it being stressful.) If you do start walking, there's a free website called Map My Run (mapmyrun.com) where you can log in and keep track of your routes (make sure they're kept private) and calculate how far you've walked. I walked over 12 miles last week, which is kind of cool to know.<br /><br />Anyway, hope you have had a very good New Years. <br /><br />Love you.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882235346307802213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949599201485766767.post-44428018476855121062010-01-09T01:05:52.514-05:002010-01-09T01:05:52.514-05:00You certainly have enriched my life this year.

I haven't abandoned you. <br /><br />Meantime, I love #4 about finding your inner voice. How incredible is that? There is the power of writing - that putting thoughts onto a page can help us figure out our lives. Or at least make us aware of what we are thinking.<br /><br />My best to you this year.

His art was impossible to understand at the time, very abstract and nothing I was attracted to. I could not see. He was eccentric and whole world spiritual and I was a sheltered little Christian with perfection as a goal. I fell off my own pedastle pretty darn quick and Pops art changed and I was able to appreciate the man and the work! It was not, is not, as easy as it is with my mom. Actually I recently allowed Pops to tune in to my blog right after "In The Twirl". I think it gave him a new appreciation for me. He said he never knew I was so deep, or so dark. My blog side is so different from what I am able to present to the world. He saw me as very quiet and rather lacking in opinion (HA! Can you imagine?). So we are in process. Aren't we all.<br /><br />XXOO - AnnieWine and Wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06778785233226804217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949599201485766767.post-18738651791392816882010-01-08T03:49:14.842-05:002010-01-08T03:49:14.842-05:00I like #5 in that it is a good reminder of the imp...I like #5 in that it is a good reminder of the importance of interacting with others face to face.

I am in the process of filling in a new calendar for 2010..we have a several things in common. My blog is mostly about our journey with my Dad and his Alzheimer's. We also rescued a dog, my first in over 25 years...so I need a lot of help and have been glued to my DVR watching Dog Whisperer episodes...<br />I spent two hours walking her around before I adopted her...she really is a good dog, but clearly is afraid of men. My husband feels like the movie, FIFTY FIRST DATES when he has to leave and work all day...I think I would like to follow you and continue the visits...Happy New YearDonna B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07015770616281528620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949599201485766767.post-33809743582207398742010-01-03T09:28:24.464-05:002010-01-03T09:28:24.464-05:00Have a Great New Year! #5...thats me too.Have a Great New Year! #5...thats me too.My Aimless Infatuationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247232637557244904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949599201485766767.post-56876701428814756952010-01-03T01:13:21.676-05:002010-01-03T01:13:21.676-05:00Hey, NO WHERE in your 2009 recap was it mentioned ...Hey, NO WHERE in your 2009 recap was it mentioned that you met ME!<br /><br />I take offense at that!<br /><br />MY New Year's Resolution is to stop letting people dismiss me so easily!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949599201485766767.post-36080798039566180062010-01-01T20:11:32.882-05:002010-01-01T20:11:32.882-05:00What a fun trip sharing your year!What a fun trip sharing your year!Carol.............https://www.blogger.com/profile/00830052294446316415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949599201485766767.post-28011898856800910762010-01-01T16:13:07.320-05:002010-01-01T16:13:07.320-05:00Your year was full of some really good stuff.

We are about the same age and I share your desire for a "passion" to follow up on. But, maybe your passion is being a homebody and a nester. Your other "want tos" seem to point in that direction. Your home, your dogs, your family, your time on the computer all seem to bring you great satisfaction. I suppose we may never reach an age when we quit questioning the direction of our life.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810126999695733332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949599201485766767.post-64240204713305707812009-12-31T16:58:58.136-05:002009-12-31T16:58:58.136-05:00I hope you have a nice New Year's Eve and an e...I hope you have a nice New Year's Eve and an even better 2010.
