The Seventh Day of Christmas

On the Seventh Day of Christmas,

My true friend gave to me,

7 Moments in Time

6 Word Wednesday,

5 Gooooold Ruuuules,

4 Christmas Videos,

These 3 Things,

2 Fun Trips,

and

An Attitude of Gratitude.

This has been a year filled with ups and downs, like most years, but how often do you really look back and see what your moments are that you'll carry with you?  I don't think many people do, and hopefully after this, you might rethink that.  It doesn't take long, and I think it brings a certain amount of closure to this year before looking ahead to the next.

So, here's my 7 Moments in 2013

Happy in the Land of Oberon!

1. Finishing my book.  I loved writing every word in that book, but finishing it was just joy.
2. Sitting with Blake watching his beloved Penguins beat the Rangers during Spring Break.  
3. Round Barn.  Needs no explanation for anyone who was there.
4. Watching Hannah's long program at Mids.  Simply one of the best skating moments I've seen in person.
5. My first visit to Bells Brewery.  Again, you probably just had to be there.
6. Mrs. Stornant's funeral.  It's so hard to say goodbye, but seeing the love and courage that day was undeniable.  
7. It was snowing on the last day of January.  I know this because it was also the first day Evan drove himself to school.  The gray hair hasn't quit growing since.

Of course there is more, but sometimes you just have to highlight the big ones.  The little ones can stay in your memory, but make sure you write them down!

Sweet dreams of holiday bliss :)
