Well, I can safely say I'm THRILLED to have survived 2006 and beyond happy that it's over.
Blogwise, I did nothing of real note, so I won't even begin to go back and try and find anything to link.
Personally, it ain't been the best of years. That whole unemployement thing this spring really sucked. Oh, I'm so happy with my current job and grateful beyond measure to have found it, but I could have done without the stress that went with that whole thing.
And that moving stuff kinda sucked too. It's funny, all I want is to finally settle in. Nest as it were. I hate moving into a place KNOWING it's temporary. There's a reason I have so much "stuff". I like it. I enjoy making a home. Not being settled tends to make me a tad bit, oh let's just say frantic.
But on the up side - I've made some incredible friends. And had some pretty wild adventures (and no, you don't know about all of them - I AM a woman of mystery after all).
I have a new nephew-in-law that I adore, got to visit some wonderful people and have started to get on my feet again. That's a very good thing.
I love living in THE valley. I know it doesn't always show in what I say and do, but it does feel like home. Driving into town you really can't help but smile. It just has this feel to it, I can't explain. But I know if I can't be in Florida there is no where else I can imagine living.
But overall, I'm not sad to see the end of 2006. I have hopes and dreams for 2007. Nothing over the top. Nothing to set up myself up too bad. Just better. Stronger. Thinner. Settled.
But my strongest wish for this coming year is that you have the best possible new year. That you realize your dreams and find joy and peace. THAT would make a wonderful new year.

May there always be a dream to shoot for,
a friend to talk to,
a beer in the fridge,
and a problem you can handle.
I've enjoyed getting to know you over the past 11 months!
