Christmas 2010

Christmas was good this year. Having Hunter here was a blessing. He's in love with Thomas the Train and all things connected with trains and cars. I had an electric train set up and running but about 2 hours before they arrived the darn thing stopped operating for some reason and no matter what I did and I'm talking (praying and ranting) did the thing start up. Still the surprise on Hunter's face when he saw it was all I needed. I gave him a Thomas the Train shirt and immediately he said "off! on!". I really missed Lariat this year, I do hope that he's getting the help he needs and will be with us next year. I video all so he will be able to see what he missed. Ashely and Chance was here and it was nice, just not the same when you are shy a family member.
It has been a blessing not traveling the month of December. My face and back are beginning to heal nicely. Stitches are out and I'm beginning to look normal again.
2010 was a year! So many things. The month of March we lost Sharla to cancer. May, Jane and I went to New York and I was awarded the Bess Cohen Humanitarian Award. August, Hunter turned 2. September I went to TN to walk in the Chattanooga 5K walk with my buddy Jane and family. In October, I went to DC to walk in the Komen 60 mile walk and that same month I was in MN to see the Cowboys get beat by the Vikings. In November I walked in the Komen 60 mile walk here in Dallas. No wonder this year has flown by.
In 2011 I'm going to try and do some things differently.
Pay it forward a little more.
Make a difference in a person's life.
Give up betting, especially football betting, if you know me, you know I make the worst bets.
Do more 5K walks and less 60 milers. My family would love this.
Ask for help - not a four letter word you know!
Just a few things~ I'd love for 2011 to be a year that I don't stress in. 2011 the year of love!
Seriously! It's be a year!
