Today I am the same, regardless of my hopes to enter 2009 a better version of myself. Since I didn't wake up on Thursday morning a changed person, it looks as though I must resolve to work a bit more.
Brian and I had our annual discussion of resolutions - those as individuals and as a couple/family (we even made a few for Eden... i.e. regular toilet use!). Most of these you don't care to hear, but it was interesting to revisit the year we left behind.
Goodbye 2008....
... We entered you with great doubt.
... The news of a bad heart.
... Eden given a year to live.
... We quickly celebrated Brian's 30th year and Eden's second
... then settled into our 5 month wait for a heart.
... Kera began running everyday.
... Brian waved to the mountains from downtown.
... We vowed not to travel: no weddings or funerals or births.
... We joined a family we never knew existed at the Children's Hospital.
... Our house got sick (sewer was replaced)
... Our car got sick (a/c replaced)
... Our dog got sick (various lacerations)
... And finally, when we didn't think we could wait any longer, the call came!
... Time suddenly sped up.
... Eden soared through her heart transplant.
... She was walking in 3 days,
... home in a week,
... and has been running ever since.
... She broke her leg,

...The holidays came so we could rejoice one more time.
