It's that time of year again...

New Year's Eve.  A time to reflect.  To join with friends to celebrate another year past and a new year to come.  To watch football, and drink (responsibly) and remember that a baby born tonight gives you a year's worth of tax help :-)

2006 has been in many ways a year of grace for us.  Quiet and unremarkable, which is good after 2005's roller coaster.  There were many moments of peace and thankfulness: our one year anniversary of our move back to CA, my Dad's cancer-free anniversary, milestones and accomplishments at work.  Quiet evenings at home, evenings spent at parties and games.  Moments spent with new friends and old.  Just moments unremarkable except that we were able to enjoy them.  All in all a good year.

There are many things I could say that I want for next year: better health, to become a homeownwer, to get a raise at work, for DH to have an easier group of students.  But really, if 2007 is anything like 2006, I'll be more than happy with its quiet, steady passage.

A blessed and Happy New Year to each of you, may 2007 bring health, happiness, and dreams come true.
