Things that made me happy in 2010
Permalink Closed

I'm in a look back at the good times mood.  Things that made me happy in 2010:

-Beignets at midnight with my youngest brother at Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans

- She-crab soup with my mom in Savannah while watching the huge 2 story shipping freighters sail by the restaurant

-playing extreme bocce ball with friends and family on Memorial Day

-grilling dinner on a Summer evening with a glass of wine in hand and favorite songs on my Ipod

-being blown away by the Lookingglass Theater's production of Alice in Wonderland.  It was like something out of a circus only in a space the size of my backyard.

-my annual freedom walk around downtown Chicago on my first day off after a hellish tax season

-attending my little cousin's first college football game and screaming my lungs out

-meeting my brother's puppy, Kona for the first time, and realizing that he was going to wrap my family around his little (now huge!) paw

-making my best time in the 5K I race every Thanksgiving morning

Anybody else?

2010 wasn't my best year, but it did have some highlights:

- hosted another great cider party and thanksgiving

- my sister joined my mom and I on black friday

- my husband opened his own business and is following his dream

- I became really good friends with someone new

- I got together with a pair of friends who I hadn't been with at the same time in years, and we had a very chatty luncheon together.

- bought skis and am taking the sport back up

- increased my running ability and am still working on it

- had great holidays and vacations

- a good friend just had a healthy baby girl

- got most of my garden in order

- took up baking and found I'm good at it and enjoy it

Being a part of this was easily the highlight of my year - two beagles rescued from a university research lab. It was a Christmas miracle. These little guys had never been outside, seen the sun, felt the grass under their feet, never touched a soft blankie or slept in a bed, never had a toy or a treat or a name, just a number tattooed on their ear. They had never known anything but needles and wire cages, and never experienced a loving touch from a human hand, only fear and pain. They are both doing great and one already has a forever home.

Suasoria, I love that the beagles were rescued. I have a big soft spot for beagles since I have one myself. That little animal is the sweetest thing in the world. I'd adopt a whole litter of beagles if I could! Glad these beagles got a happy ending and I hope the second one finds its forever home soon.

Things that made me happy this year-
- I got a new job
- I married my best friend
- We bought a house
- We have an opportunity (when we want it) to move out of the state
- I expanded my group of friends and now feel as though I have a really great bunch of people I can count on
- My doggies- they are just awesome
- Vacationing in San Diego and LA
