Welcome 2010. I could do a look back, but this time of year is when I start to feel blue, so I thought I would take some time to remember some sweet moments from 2010 so far.

• The light in the sky and over the lightly snowed on land was absolutely gorgeous this morning. It made me happy that I was actually up to see it and appreciate it on my way to work, even if all I had with me was my iPhone, I still got a reminder of the beauty!
• C jumps out of the car, turns slightly and flashes me a smile and a sly I love you sign as he heads into school. I am going through my last minute reminders “stay in green” “make good choices” “have a good day” and I hope he knows how much I love him.
• R talks non-stop about the fire engines and the ambulances and the lights and the siren, but he says “wer wer wer (siren sound)” instead of siren. If we happen to see one, he yells for me to follow it. I am grateful for this chatter that fills up my car and ears each night.
• Each night, I whisper to C and R, “sweet dreams are here to stay” and most nights the whisper it back. Do they know I would gladly fight away and demon or nighttime ghost that scares them? I hope they do.

So 2010 is here. I hope you are rocking it like me. Enjoy the little moments.
