Hey there Carol AND Carol Sue!!!!
Great to hear from both of you!
I'm thinking I should answer those questions as well- so here goes my answers-
#1 Hmmm- my movie theme would be drama and adventure-lots of changes and stages of life going on here.
#2 The theme that kept recurring would be- making choices!
#3 This past year I finally accomplished creating a few things that have been well received by the purchasing public!!!! :)
#4 Can't think of a lack of acknowledgement issue-hmmm.
#5 Disappointments?- mostly in my ability to make the changes in my life gracefully.
#6Peace with myself has been missing- I'm looking forward to resting within myself once switching gears in my life is over.
#7Life throws ya curves
nothing stays the same
roll with the punches!!!!
Hey Kimberly!
Great answers! So glad ya decided to play along!!!!
#1.Drama and Tragedy
#2.well, we had 6 deaths and a tragic accident in 2009 so it was a sad year for sure.
#3.After our 4 house guest left to move to their new places, I had repairs made that were caused by slab cracking.Then Heath and I painted the addition.
#4.I don't think there was anything I wasn't acknowledged for, but if there was all the better I will get it later.
#5.I was disappointed when Heath got laid off from his job with with all the benifits.Praise God that I don't have regrets this year because regrets eat me up inside. I do regret nor having snapdragons planted in the front flower bed. It just didn't happen.
#6.smooth sailing
#7.Learning to sail rough seas,being flexable to change,turn the page of life you still have memories
GWEN! You sailed through the many sad times this year with such grace!!! I know you likely didn't always feel so graceful, but you were!
Thanks for reminding me just how much happened on Hickock this past year.
Here's to a less active year????
1- a combination of drama and comedy. You know there is some comedy wit 6 children running around.
2- for theme I would have to say surrendering control, and fully trusting in my Heavenly Father.
3- I am not insane!!! on a more sober note. I have learned to be more forgiving of others.
4- nothing that I can think of
5- Regrets?? I try not to have any, but I would say not slowing down to visit with those who matter most in my life.
6- progress in the goal I had set. (they were probably unrealistic anyway)lol
7- This one was hard, I learned that true love is an amazing thing. Forgiveness can do wonderful things in a relationship, and God is faithfull
6-
#1-An adventurous comedy
#2-Change & Desperately trying to simplify when life doesn't seem to cooperate with your plan

#5-My dad drinking again and going back to prison.
#6-Family being closer.
#7-Reevaluated the meaning of my possessions. Concentrated on changing my perspective on many things
#1 Comedy and tragedy
