I thought it might be fun to reflect on some of the good things that have happened in your life in the year 2005.

For me it was:

1. THE CATHE ROADTRIP:7 :7 :7
2. New friends met on roadtrip
3. DH who has put up w/so much and still loves me more than ever
4. Three beautiful, healthy sons who are turning out to be really nice, kind, and interesting young men
5. Health for me and all my loved ones

1. My DRASTICALLY improved fitness levels since April
2. Amazing friends I have met on here
3. A super awesome husband who works damn hard to support our family & so I can be a SAHM.
4. A beautiful, smart baby boy who is the joy of my life
5. My awesome family & best friend from home who has really been supportive of us

My DH who for the past ten years has also been my best friend, my buddy and a great workout partner.

My Bengal kitty Nyssa - she is more like a puppy than a cat and I love her for it.

My parents for being two of the most down to earth, unassuming and wonderful people I know.

The fact that I can still surprise myself in what levels I can take my fitness to. Every time I think "This is it -I cannot run faster or lift heavier or increase my endurance" I find that I can. What a great feeling that is!

The Cathe forums and all of the wonderful people I have "met" on here. The motivation and dedication of the members of this forum is amazing and CONTAGIOUS! I certainly hope to make it to the next roadtrip to meet you all.

I must not forget to mention the <--- thread. My day would not be the same without it!
 
2005 was not a good year for me. My mother was in the hospital during the road trip, so I missed that. Camp for DS was cancelled due to a fire, so we got no vacation. MIL sold her house and moved closer to us, so that's what I did with my vacation time. DD started college, but didn't very well with her independence. DS hasn't yet recieved funds from county to allow him to move into a residence.

But, throughout all the troubles, God blessed me with a sense of humor, a wonderful, supportive DH, good health and a community of friends here who continuously uplift and uphold me. Thank you all. I hope next year is better, and some of us can meet face to face.
 
Sorry if that seemed like such a bummer. I know others here have faced much worse with much better grace. Next year will be better. I promise.

Kassia,

You're also a pretty bright spark for all you have to deal with. You ladies inspire me to the max!

The year has been bittersweet for me. My family has experienced so much loss and grief, but the positve thing to come out of it is the knowledge of what my family and friends mean to me. Those of us who remain have cinched up our bond drawing ever nearer in our love and devotion. I've developed an awareness of how fleeting life is and feel compelled to find a way to make a difference somehow.

ETA that I have also made a pact with myself to lighten up a little bit and not take life so seriously. When I think of all the little things that have stressed me out or caused high anxiety I am struck by their insignificance in the grand scheme of things.
