Farewell 2008, welcome 2009! To say that last year was a roller coaster is...well, a major understatement. Pregnancy, miscarriage, foster placement, legal risk adoption, 600-mile relocation, new job, new house, new school, new church, new life. Enough said.
Today I find myself quite reflective and resolute. I've been examining my experiences, and I know what I need to do. Since I like to keep my promises, I won't vow to exercise daily or become a vegan. And against my better judgement, my resolutions will be neither objective nor measurable. Instead, I'm focusing on the state of my heart and my relationships. So, here goes...
In 2009, I resolve to:
* Be a phenomenal friend.
* Err on the side of generosity.
* Do all things in love.
May this be the best year yet!
Many blessings to you and yours,
Ramona

Wow! I've been following your blog for qutie awhile. Reading today's entry caused me to go back and read through your posts from this time last year. I can't help but be stunned at the similarities to my current situation. We found out at an ultrasound the Friday before Christmas that our baby (via embryo adoption) had stopped growing about a week earlier. We waited 10 days, and had another ultrasound that revealed no further growth, and I had a d&c on Tuesday. I have thanked you before, and will probably thank you again for your openness as you travel this journey. You have given me a measure of renewed hope of what a year can bring.
