Some thoughts about 2005. There are many things for which I am grateful. A few:
- Good health.
- Family. A wonderful husband and great kids. My amazing sister and her family and my parents all live close by. I'm thankful for my husband's loving family in California.
- Friends. An unexpected but WONDERFUL thing happened in 2005. Knitting friends! I have had such fun with you this year -- bring on 2006!
- A new job. Challenging, but do-able.
- Neat experiences in 2005. Celebrating my husband's birthday (more to come about this); watching the changes in my children; sharing lunches and dinners and cups of coffee and glasses of wine with friends; reading engaging books; and seeing some great movies.
Some goals for 2006:
- Add some exercise into my routine. Admittedly a boring and trite resolution, but necessary.
- Continue to try new things and have joyful experiences.
- Post more often.
All of my best to you and your families for a 2006 filled with peace, health and happiness.
Happy New Year, and hope for all the good intentions we bring to new beginnings!
More exercise, less procrastination at my cottage.

Happy New Year, Kathy!
An ipod (on an armband) goes a looooong way in staying motivated on the exercise front. I've jogged 3 miles each day this week on the elliptical trainer. Good music alleviates the pain. ;)
Oh! I gave Pete the book "Soul of A Chef" by Michael Ruhlman. He is LOVING it and he is a very finicky reader.

happy New Year to you and yours - It's funny how many times I nodded my head in agreement with your thoughts. I hope you're warm and cozy and able to enjoy tomorrow too! (unless you have to work, in which case I am very sorry you don't have the day off...)
