2013 - the year of the lack of blogging

Wow! Did 2013 just come and go?

Thank goodness!

It wasn't one of my favorite years. In fact, in many ways it was one of the worst yet.

Health challenges, furlough challenges, work craziness, house repairs and selling challenges, death of loved ones, and even some despair about just about everything going on.

Yet, some good things happened along the way - relationships are intact, marketing skills are improved, awards won, and I felt closer to family along the way.

So, what will 2014 bring?

It started off with a disturbing phone call and the water heater breaking down. Oh, and feeling like a sick zombie in bed for a week.

Unbelievable.

But, I'm in good spirits. Secret happinesses have already come this week. I'm closing out a ton of projects at work and will be able to focus on 2-3 big priorities. Plus, I've got BIG goals.

It's not all bad. It's half good.

There will be challenges this year, but I'm ready. The blogging might not increase. I'm shirking back a bit and not listening to what everyone else is doing. I need to re-find myself.

Here's to 2014!

Secret Happiness - turnaround from Secret Sadness

It's official! A little note has arrived in the mail saying that there is a tube to pick up at the post office. This must mean that Becca House has officially arrived! Yea!

Now, if I were just in this part of town during post office hours...

The carpool comes first and foremost, but at least I know that the tube has made it within 5-6 miles of my home.

It is great when secret sadness's turn into secret happiness's.

Secret Sadness - no Becca house

Although I'm typically sharing secret happiness notes, I do have a secret sadness right now.

The original copy of Becca House has not arrived in the mail.

This is very grievous indeed. I know that Scot insured it, but I think right now it would be better to have the drawing than the $500.

Let's hope it arrives tomorrow.
