Dear 2010,
You were a strange year for me. I’m glad you came and I’m glad you’re gone.
Thank you for the new carpet, even though it scared me to death to see an entire corner of my new house rest on a 4x4 in my living room.
Thank you for my beautiful baby girl. I could have done without all the throwing-up during the last term. And I could have done without the spotty epidural during delivery.
Thank you for the new van. I know it meant a lot of car troubles and being stranded here and there, especially on vacation in another state.
Thank you for the help and love that my eyes have been opened to. Having a back in this much misery is miserable, but I have been astounded and strengthened by the love.
Thank you most of all for happiness. It has been a very long time since I have been so consistently and deeply happy. That has been the craziest thing about you, 2010, that as I have walked through what feels like a ravine in my life, the sun has shone brighter on me than it has in several years. So, I’ll leave dry rot and the pregnancy and the car troubles and the back pain with you, but would you mind terribly if I took the happiness with me? You see, I need it. I had forgotten what it felt like. And I don’t want to lose it again.
Most sincerely,
MyLiege
P.S. I would actually like to keep all of my blessings from last year, if you don’t mind; especially my sweet babe. ;> Thanks!
