While the baby is in her room resting(ok, shes being disciplined) I thought I take a minute and sit. Rewarm yesterdays tea, and relax.
This morning, I finally took a years worth of pictures and had them made into an album online. It ships here in a week or so. Its been so cold, ridiculously cold, so I took advantage of being home, to get that kinda of stuff away.
Looking through pictures of my last year was oddly gratifying. If I was to break down our year into little pieces, I would of thought that this year was an awfully horrible year. But Looking at the whole picture, or a whole pile of pictures, my mind was changed. Much to my relief.
I know there were days, even months, when it felt like we were holding our breaths the whole way through. I remember praying for a break, If not for me, then for my friends. We've known people who've died and people who wanted to. We've had our baby in and out of emergency and put under in my arms for surgery. Theres been heart murmurs and eye surgery's(Geoff's correctional one, not graces) and a countless number of sleepless nights. For a year that drug on, it sure flew by us.
But I had some days, even some months that were so good. My family got to Florida, the Maritimes. Gracie's surgery was great. Theres been parties and movie nights. Big Girl beds and bangs:) And I have plenty of pictures to prove it. Proof. That's pretty good. That's pretty great.
But all that said, its nice to start a new year. Its nice to tuck away another book a pictures and memories and put away, till i need them anyhow...
