What a Difference a Year Makes!

I am sure you have heard the Dinah Washington song... "What a Difference a Day Makes..." It has been used on several commercials and is pretty much a classic. If you haven't heard it before, because maybe you live under a ROCK... check it out when you have a chance. But I digress.... I need more then a day to take in all the differences I have dealt with, in the last 10 years!!

As I reflect and wrap up 2009, and another decade of life, I am blown by the choices I have made and the changes that have occurred as well. Some days I am still in awe that I actually quit my job and moved to Europe; still seems like a dream. Of course I have memories that make me sad, like being so far from friends and my sweet grandfather passing away. The fact I was able to survive 2 of the hardest years of my life, but that is now a testimony! I am also laughing thinking back to all the Y2K drama and BEAMING, because I became strong enough to compete in my first sprint triathlon and have been hooked on a healthy lifestyle ever since.

So what will the next decade or better yet lets start with the first year have in store for little Laci? I want to continue to show and sell my art...Walk in love with those around me... Maintain my strong and healthy lifestyle... Travel! In the end, only God knows for sure, but I promise to keep you posted. Happy New Year everyone! 2010 ready or not... here we come!!
