Well the holidays have come and gone... this was a bit different this year. It has been a trying time the end of this year has had it's down notes, but the holidays and time with family has been uplifting though. I had a good time with family and friends. New Years was especially fun ringing in the new year and bidding farewell to the old. Got to shoot off fireworks and even celebrate with various traditions like the Spanish one of eating 12 grapes on the 12 tolls of the new year... as well as the southern tradition of eating black eyed peas on New Year's Day. So I have resolutions that I am wanting to achieve and I hope that I will be able to stick with them... nothing too extravagant or outlandish either... so will see where 2010 takes us and hopefully it will be a better year for everyone.

Best wishes to all!
