A New Decade

2010......

is it me or is the idea of and entire new decade ridiculous to even fathom.

Seriously....I cannot even think that it's a new Decade. I am okay with it being a new year, but the other day when I read somewhere that a new decade was upon us, I really had to stop and think about it....

Where did it all go? I mean really. Okay I remember the whole Y2K crap, but now it's a "decade" later and we are not zooming around in little spaceships yet... Funny. Dan said the other day we should change Miles' name to Astro and call the baby Elroy... 'cause as a kid the idea of 2010 was so far off and we all thought we would be flying around like the 'Jetson's'.

But business as usual and I think I am glad of that. No real changes right now. People are still who they are that is okay. We are not standing in bread lines with ration cards, we still are a free nation and we can be who we want. We can achieve anything we wish to or sit back and let the the world go by us and not care if we want. We can love and laugh when we want and share and be at peace when we want. This is all a good thing and we should be grateful for it. Although things change in our midst so often, things can still stay the same.

I have no "resolution " for this new year. I am just going to take each day one step at a time. I think I need to. I am entering this year with a child in my belly and a father in law who is still in the hospital...so things just go one day at a time and I will let God lead. This time I can honestly say for the moment I need to step back and let it happen around me. This could really be that change that I need for the better as I enter this new 'Decade'.

I like the idea too. Just let me coast for a while. Welcoming this new year with more love in my heart for those around me. Far more acceptance for those around me too. But so much more thankfulness to those around me. I am a grateful and blessed woman in all area's of my life.
I hope you are too.

A new year, a new post, a new beginning a new start to seasons, new history to be made and a New Decade.
