Adieu 2010!

Reflecting on the past year, I would have to say it was a good one. There were some challenges, professionally and personally, but overall I was fortunate to have a great deal of good in my life. I had the gift of continued good health which allowed me to indulge in my bicycling obsession (and bang up both knees!). I was able to travel to wonderful places, domestic and foreign, and spend time with dear friends and family, including celebrating my Busia's 90th birthday - something well worth celebrating!

Speaking of friends, 2010 was the year that I made the most connections - or should I say reconnections? - on Facebook. Whatever your opinion of the site, I enjoy having a way to connect with people from every stage of my life, many of whom had otherwise drifted off.

And damn I ate a lot of good meals this year!!! Most, if not all of which, were shared with family and/or friends.

I plan to end 2010 and enter 2011 on the same note - with friends, eating a good meal then taking in some great music. Hopefully it will be the perfect start to another good year.

Wishing you all a happy, healthy, and mindful year in 2011.
