Goodbye 2008, Hello Blogging!

So I am totally new to this world of blogging and I hope that I do not fail miserably at it. I really want to try to post daily; however, I know life gets in the way. Before starting my own blog I read others that inspired me to write, pick a word for the year, take a picture everyday and blog about it, and lots of shabby homemade gifts to do! I hope that my blog can become a place of solace and peace for my thoughts, however wild and crazy they may be. As a mother of twins I know that sometimes the ritual and structure of life takes a lot of fun out of the everyday things. I am hoping to become more aware of life, the little moments, and the enjoyment of being called to be a mother. As we leave 2008 behind I am also leaving behind a lot of bitterness towards things that I cannot change and that I could not control. I am ready to be content with life; therefore, my word for the year 2009 is CONTENT. Synonyms for the word content include: fulfilled gratified happy satisfied. Oh how I pray that I can be all of those things so that I may enjoy life more and not "sweat the small stuff" so much. Goodbye 2008, Hello Blogging!
