In retrospect - 2007

The tree is untrimmed and outside waiting on the boy scouts to come and pick up, the snow globe is dried out and deflated ready to be packed in the box, the last pages in the devotionals have been read and the journal entry for December 31, 2007 is finished. It is time to reflect a little on 2007.

This past year:
- We lost our dear Wally
- I had foot surgery that due to complications is still an opportunity. There are times when my foot is so hot you would think that someone took a blow torch to it.
- I officially became a grandmother and now have a delight in my life that is unspeakable.
- I spent the year looking for a new job and had 4 very near misses and I’m still not sure I am over the disappointment of the last one.
- We said good by as two interns moved out in June and then greeted two others that moved in this fall.
- Kyle and I had great getaways in Phoenix, Leavenworth, Lake Chelan, and Puerto Vallarta. I even had a great tan.
- Survived a Christmas with most of MY family in Jackson WY.
- I started a blog.
- I only read through the Bible twice this year.
- We purchased a Wheelchair van that is such a blessing.
- We persevered against the IRS, and WON.
- I was able to take my mother back to Michigan to visit her friends and families
- I got the opportunity to eat REAL coney dogs in Michigan.
- I made new friends and deepened relationships with others.
- My husband has blessed me with his time, his energy and his love this past year.
- I celebrated another ‘check up’ cancer free.

This year as years in the past had victories, losses and opportunities for changes but did I change for the better or worse. Did I make the make the most of every opportunity? I’m not sure but what I am sure of is that next year will come and have more opportunities and I am approaching 2008 with more of anticipation for change than in the past.
