Welcome 2009

Ten and Five! No this is not a football term. Last week my husband asked me to make a list of ten things I could START doing and Five things I could STOP doing; that would make my life the lives of my family better. He would make the same list and we would compare. It would be rare to find us reading a book on marriage together, but we do plan together. I am not going to post my list, but one of mine was staying current on our family history; in my world at this moment = blogging. This year I am hijacking an idea from my BFF Kath. I am going to do 52 weeks of My Favorite Things. Two of my favorite songs are "Simple Things" by Jim Brickman and the Favorite Things song from Sound of Music. Most of my favorite things are the simple things. When I was in high school and to this day whenever I am feeling down; I write a list these favorite things. I've never actually recorded or kept any of the lists; thus my project for 2009.
