Our local "birdcage liner" listed the "Top Ten Stories" of 2008. Hell's Bells....my family's moment of fame only came in at #4. Well, at least there were three other stories that were more interesting. I'm tired of our 15 minutes (that have turned into months) of fame. I'm tired of my phone being tapped. I have a new attitude. The "eyes guys" can all just kiss my grits and let my life go on as uncomplicated as possible.
I lost a dear little dog, Tinkerbelle, in 2008. BUT, I got a new little pup, Sophie, this year. Life goes on and we adapt or we loose what mind we have left. I must be careful on that issue!
We of the Bulldawg Blood lost our beloved UGA VI this year. His obit pronounced him "a damn good dog". He was laid to rest beside the others in the East end of Sanford Stadium. UGA VII took the field and was introduced at the first game. Life goes on and UGA's will continue to come from the Siler family in Savannah.
I got a new grand girl in 2008! Oh what joy she has brought to our lives! Life goes on and we rejoice in the birth of a new little person.
2008 saw me spend another year with my Hubby. He is working toward sainthood. He is my best friend and I'm thankful to have had another year with him. I want lots more!!
I changed jobs in 2008. I'm back "home" to the hospital where I started my career in nursing. Maybe I've found my niche and will stay there until I retire. If not, I'll try something else and maybe go down a different avenue of nursing. I have made the right decision...for now.
I have laughed in 2008. I've enjoyed the laughter that leaves you breathless and bent double and causes your ribs and cheeks to hurt. That kind of laughter is good medicine.
I have cried in 2008. Tears of joy, tears of frustration, tears of genuine sadness. Not all tears are bad. Some are the nature's moisture that waters your soul and causes growth and maturity.
My hair color has changed several times in 2008. As long as I have money in my pocket and with God as my wittness people will never know what my true hair color really is! (Picture Scarlett O'Hara standing in the turnip field holding her clinched fist to the sky...)
2008 Star-light Banquet: I got an award for just doing my job. I have a star to wear on my name badge. When someone asks what it is for I simply say it was given to me because I did my job. I'm not a hero. I just do my job.
I don't make New Year's resolutions. That seems like a waste of time. I have goals and set standards I would lke to meet. If I am successful...hooray! If I am not...I'll try again later.
I've had more joy than sadness, more success than failure, more love than not, found new friends and not lost old ones...
I guess 2008 wasn't so bad after all. I'm still top-side and able to breathe on my own. I'm able to shop, drive a car, vote, speak my mind. Well! Let's head on to 2009 with boldness, free from fear and full of promise!
All I ask is that you stay here with me and you will read my blogs and wonder about that Southern Belle who loves Georgia and sweet iced tea and moonlight through the pines. I also would like it if you drop a line every now and then to let me know you are there.
Yep, I think 2009 will be just fine. Ya'll come on over to my place and sit a spell. I'll have sweet iced tea and a plate of cookies waiting for you. You can sip and snack while I weave a story for you that will probably have thread of truth in it!
Mz Scarlett...Starting the New Year out with a soft smile and twinkle in her eye!
