I, however, would like to rid myself of the negative emotions which so easily crop up; and I would like to think each morning of the love which has been shown to me by my God and by others. I would also like to think each night about the blessings of the day. Even on the worst of days there are blessings.

Your mon has a great adult daughter, and you have a wonderful sounding person in yourself. Based on your positive attitude that comes through in how you perceive things in your reality, I can tell that 2010 is going to hold bright, stronger, and lucky things for you in the longrun.

(I sometimes feel like I wish we could have a daily Good Riddance Afternoon Coffee Break..!) ;) Symbolically, I'm glad in a way that it is not only the end of a trying year in 2009, but also a very hard decade during which I lost a parent for the first time. I went through some other hard struggles, too; but at the same time, I accomplished and grew so much with many new experiences. In 2009, I'm saying "Good riddance!" to not having enough faith in my right to my own opinions, space, and actions. I'm moving forward into 2010 with more confidence in the power of my own decisions, perspectives, and way of living my life, and how important they are for me to be all the healthy "Me" that I am and need to be. I'll try, anyway. ;) Happy NY, everybody! -Gary Denise, what a great idea!

I'm replacing over-worrying with believe, actually knowing, that all will work out. I want to say good riddance to over-worrying!

I wish I was smart enough to think of it on my own.... Im planning on laughter...even when days are hard...every day of 2010....good riddance to sadness and look at this journey as another chapter for mom and I. The days fade away but its the memories we bring with us that will help me later on...
