It's a New Year

Apparently 2009 is upon us and this year is significant to the theme of change, not only for the fact that we have a new president who is African-American which means the First family is reflective of a married African American man, woman and 2 sassy daughters, but there is change on the many levels of this world.

the US is in a recession... everything is more expensive. unemployment is high and people are loosing there jobs + homes at more than an alarming rate. I am thankful to be employed and slightly still ok with my job...currently dont own a home and hope to afford one some day...but it is sad for the folks who are loosing their dream now... i remember when mom lost our home to forclosure...

i mean this year of 2009 started differently...mommy was not here to toast with us and bring a smile to our faces. Why i am struggling with coping and grieving is no mystery to me, catholic guilt is a dominant theme in my life.

i actually made NO resolutions..save for the one of me 'being better' in all that i strive to do... which can run the gamet from health to men/ relationships/ work etc...

i plan to write more when i have more fascinating facets of life to cover...right now i am dull

BUT google has not let me down with another smashing pic on their page...

so with that... happy new year!
