1. when all else fails...move the hell on...and keep moving forward no matter what.<br />
2. using white crest strips after drinking your red wine is just dandy.<br />
3. Dont hold a grudge...it just adds to the drinking thing and can cause an unwanted ulcer.<br />
4. what the???...you cant change him?...are you sure?<br />
5. my favorite meal of 2011 is still pasta since 1989<br />
6. no...its my body type and no I do not have an eating disorder...its called excercise, eating in moderation...yes, i know...hard to find these days in a society that is growing towards a alltime record in obesity!<br />
7. these kids will never listen and I may finally be learning the the true meaning of "if you cant beat 'em join 'em!"<br />
8. Thinkin' seriously about returning to a 10-day silent meditation retreat as a result of #7...ALREADY!<br />
9. Love + kindness = peace in all things<br />
10. Love + kindness = peave in all things<br />
11. Love + a glass of wine = peace in all things.<br />
12. live to laugh and love to live...all good things will come!<br />

This year we look forward to more opportunities to overcome and learn from new challenges and to meet new people that will offer those challenges! <br />
<br />
I am grateful for everyting that has happened to us and to those that surround us whether good or bad because either way we have all come out of it alive and stronger yet!<br />
<br />
Much love to you all in 2010...may good fortune and humbling experiences find us all.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1733802471588562964-1422348860815589379?l=opportunistatlarge.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
