Jami's Year 2009
Wow. Quite a year this one. I'm not going to do a month-by-month, but last year I started the year in a basically pointless job I intensely disliked. I had one adopted child and we were discussing having another. This year I have a job that is meaningful and I adore. I would (and have!) done it for free, that's how much I love this work. I have carried a child to term, given birth and so have a second son. The Steelers won the SuperBowl. Then the Penguins won the Stanley Cup. We had a great family vacation. I was part of a huge and ongoing struggle in our dear church family. We lost our beloved dog. We had a new nephew. Several friends got married, other friends got pregnant and/or had new babies. It's been a year of great struggles and great triumphs. I think I have laughed, cried, and been surprised more this year than any single one in memory. I've definitely learned and grown more in the past twelve months than I bargained for.
I'm not a huge fan of living in the past. I cherish my memories, but I try not to dwell in them. This year will certainly be one that lives a long time in my mind, and I'm excited to see what is coming next. Based on this past year, my best guess is, nothing I'm expecting.
Happy New Year!
