Flaunt It Friday: The Best of 2007

With the end of the year so close and the first days of 2008 fast approaching, it is high time that we spend a few moments remembering. As people with a calendar and what’s more, a mind, how could we possibly neglect to look back on what has been for the past twelve months and not give heed to all the good with which we have been blessed?!

I remember at some point this fall (Thanksgiving week, I think) coming to the realization that true happiness is to be found in gratitude. While it is very simple to forget much of what has passed this year, especially the good (which is so often overshadowed by the difficulties and sufferings of our everyday lives), working up this week’s challenge post should do the trick to shed a positive light on these last 365 add a little happiness to the last few hours of this year.  Lord knows, happiness is never a bad thing! 

So, for this week’s Flaunt It Friday, how about we flaunt the Best of 2007? While everyone else spends their time looking negatively on life and deciding what they would like to CHANGE for next year (we can put that off until the weekend), let’s look back and remember WHAT ABOUT 2007 WE WOULDN’T CHANGE FOR THE WORLD!

Here’s my Best of 2007:

(1) We finally sold our home in Stratford, CT (where I was absolutely miserable and really never seeing my husband) after months in the slow market.

(2) We found (by the hand of God) the perfect home, in the perfect neighborhood, in my home town, three minutes from my parents, way out of our budget and actually got the mortgage!

(3) Princess potty trained, then turned three and started ballet.

(4) Drama Queen learned to talk and how!!!!!

(5) We found the bestest nanny/housekeeper ever!

(6) We reconnected with a spiritual director from my past who is helping… ALOT.  Awesome!

(7) Towards the end of this year, I began blogging, rediscovered my love for writing and opened the door to some very promising opportunities to develop my gifts and make an income doing so.

(8) I lost twenty pounds. But that’s a bust because… (read on to number 10)

(9) I finally found a migraine medication that works. But can’t take it anymore because…

(10) In 2007 the best ever thing we did was conceive our third baby!!!!!!!!!

Off to visit the in-laws. I am looking forward to reading all your posts when I get back.
