Closing the door on 2006

I for one am glad this year is over – here’s hoping 2007 is kinder. Not that we had any huge disasters in 2006 – we came through it with our health and homes, and I am thankful for that. But it was the year that MIL lived most of the year with my mom, putting a great deal of strain on family relations. It was the year we lost a lot of friends – between switching to a different recreation group and then our “close” friends stabbing us in the back, and dragging along a few others into the mudhole they created. It was also the first year since 2000 that I ended the year with a weight gain instead of loss. Overall, I’d say my fitness declined in 2006. That’s never a good thing.

OTOH, I started a new job – with more money. Hub worked steadily. The boy got his black belt. My mom enjoyed her retirement. And I am resolved to lose weight this year. Thirty pounds is a lot, but its certainly doable.

So, here’s wishing you & me a fitter, slimmer new year, with plenty of love & laughter.
