I found this over on
I'm Not Really A Diva, and decided that I would use it as an end-of year post...not sure if it will be the only one, but a good way to start the reflection :)
1. what was the best thing that happened to you personally in 2008?
Wow, this is a tough one...why is it always easier to think of the bad things that have happened rather than the good?? So...I was able to take an amazing vacation to Belize this year. It was so much fun and a great experience. Vacation is always a good thing!
2. what was the worst thing that happened to you personally in 2008?
I got sick and had to have my gallbladder removed on an emergency basis--it was a horrible few weeks. I am fine now, but man, was I miserable then!
3. what was the best thing to happen to all of us in 2008?
The election of Barack Obama--people seem so much more hopeful now. Change is here!
4. what was the worst thing to happen to all of us in 2008?
The tanking of the economy, we are all effected, and frankly it sucks.
5. what was the best gift you received during the ’08 holidays?
Diamond stud earrings from the hubby...how can you compete with that?
6. what was the best gift (most appropriate or best received) you gave during the ’08 holidays?
I painted a picture for a good friend and he seemed genuinely happy and touched.
7. do you have any regrets about what you did in 2008?
I tend to focus on the negative, and did a lot of that this year.
8. do you have any regrets about what you didn’t do in 2008?
I did lose weight. blah.
9. did you meet anyone that became important to you in 2008?
Clane! I was just thinking about how random our meeting was and how he has so quickly become a staple part of our life.
