As 2010 is about to end, and a new year begin I wanted to take a few minutes to say thank you!

Thank you to all the people that have touched my life in one way or another. Thank you for all those that have shown compassion to others as they delt with challenging times, health issues, or even the death of a loved one.

count your blessings they aren't worse

I can't say I am upset this year is over, but when I look back I can indeed see the good things that happened as well as the bad.

Friends that have helped each other, friends that have helped me. Friends that I see on Twitter or Facebook from all walks of life from both Active Rain, Squidoo, and others. And let's not forget the people I have communicated with this past year to help them sell their property, buy one, and even the ones that just call to ask a question. Thank you for the confidence, and hopefully I was able to steer you in the right direction for your needs.

I am looking forward to 2011, and hoping that everyone has come out of the darkest part of the economic meltdown. I am hoping that people that were depressed over their situation can see the light now and have the stamina to put one foot in front of the other now. I am hoping that with all the challenges still to come that you will continue to reach out to people for help, and to help.

These are my wishes for 2011.....Happy New Year Everyone! And Thank you for the friendships! Remember to count your blessings, because no matter what...there is always something to be thankful for :)

There is always something to be thankful for indeed! I rested today...feeling a bit under the weather...but made sure to get up for the evening...close the doors and 'protect' Shadow. I'm going to go eat that chocolate donut Gary bought me earlier today...that I now feel up to eating. Yup....I am thankful he didn't eat it...lol

Hello my friend,

Nice to see you posting on AR again! Loved what you said about "I am hoping that with all the challenges still to come that you will continue to reach out to people for help, and to help." And isn't funny that the more we help and share with others, the more we benefit ourselves..."

Looking forward to connecting with you and other great friends in 2011!

Andrea- Thanks and I hope all the best for you in this coming year :) Being positive (realistically, but not living la la land ) sure beats being negative all the time :)

Ann A.- Can I just say Ditto :)

Mara- I think you're right...we missed 2010, but here you are and here I am, so yes let's re-connect :)

Lynda- Hi my friend- I too am looking forward to the reconnections in 2011, and many will happen in real life for sure :)

Happy New Year to all of you......let's make good things happy this year!
