not so bad

even if some were trivial and some didn't quite happen, 2009 wasn't so bad as far as my goals were concerned:

seek patience (and stash it for times when I've run out)  I sought often, but didn't always find. 

bake bread  mmmm. yes.

have fresh flowers in my home  yep.

give birth   for sure.

run   not in a race as I'd hoped, but after little boys. Literally, often. 
Through parking lots, Target,  the neighborhood, down the stairs...

attend a yoga class  

mail correspondence in a timely fashion  ok, only some of the time

make my bedroom pretty  the budget for this just never happened.

host a party  4 of them, in fact

have a new family portrait taken  

recycle more  complete with bins for paper and plastic

sew there was a sewing machine. and lots of help.

love  

listen  


and this was for sure the very best thing to come out of 2009:
