Wow. What a ride this year has been!
I was looking back at last year this time and realized Mama Vi was still in the hospital down in Florida. In so many ways it was the beginning of the really big changes in my life. I can tell you this much - I never, ever would have guessed I'd be where I am doing what I'm doing a short year later.
But what was funny is the post I put up for the New Year. It was supposed to be a year in review - but it wasn't the greatest of years overall. So I looked at what I wanted to accomplish in 2005. Let's see how I did - shall we?!?!
1) BLOGMEET: Tammi's House.....more info coming - I did it. And it ROCKED!! And I've been to many more since than!!
2) New Job: No Matter What. No Matter Where - HA! I got one. It's different. It's here. How funny is this!!
3) Get Out More: I want to do some FUN travel, get out and relax a bit more Thanks to the changes in my career I do get out more. I've done a bit of traveling and it was all for FUN. This one carries over to next year too!
4) Play with the babies: I have 2 friends that are expecting....I'm a wonderful Aunt Tammi! Plus, there is nothing like babies to put everything into perspective. Well - not as many babies as I'd like - but I think the important thing here was the thought behind it.
Geez, nothing like using your own words against you! Blogs are good for that - aren't they?!?
Anyway - as interesting and challenging as 2005 has been I wouldn't change a thing. Oh, I'm still adjusting but isn't that what I'm supposed do to anyway? Y'all did a great job of reminding me of that in my Puzzle Post. (thankyouverymuch)
So - I guess all I really want to say is I hope, as you look back over this year, you are able to find the good. Cling to it. Cherish it. Learn from the bad, but dont' dwell. Remember those who are gone. Remember them with a smile.
And may 2006 be all you need it to be. Again, I go back to my mantra - the one hanging in my home. Live Well, Love Much, Laugh Often.
Happy New Years.

It's always good to look back and remember the good things that happen.

Posted by: pam at December 31, 2005 02:16 PMHappy New Year to you Tammi. Thanks for the reminder to remember the past year. One, can at times, get to busy to think about anything but the now.
Posted by: RedNeck at December 31, 2005 05:17 PMMany Happy returns. May your New Year be wonderful.
Posted by: David Holtz at December 31, 2005 06:29 PMHAPPY NEW YEARS TO YOU TOO TAMMI!!!!! I bet Miss Indy and Miss Tally miss playing with you...You should see how much Talladega can do now, it's amazing.
Something I can look back on this year is the wonderful woman who lived next door to me for a few months. She was able to knock sence into my young little head without even raising her hand. You helped save my marriage by getting me out of my mee stage. I love you Tammi, and I am so glad you came into my life in 2005.
This was a great year. This was the year I met you in person! Happy New Years, sweetie!
