Today is Dec. 1 and when I logged onto this blog it occurred to me just how little time I spent writing! How sad, especially as a writer...writers write, right? So I've committed myself to writing every day, even if it's about even more mundane topics than what I already broach, even if it's no more than 2 paragraphs. I am a writer and I need to make time to write.
This year has been a year full of growth for me; it seems every year since I turned 29 has been. 2009 has taught me the true value of friends. I had a handful of friends throughout my childhood, but friendships in adulthood take on a whole new meaning. Women who help each other get through life are the kinds of women I have been blessed with. Even if it's just my friend showing me what will work best in my yard to "flower" it up, or my friend laughing with me about something going on in Hollywood.
In both cases I met these amazing women by chance: Friend 1 needed a sitter for her child part-time and a mutual friend connected us. We gradually became close friends. Then I finally broke down and introduced myself to Friend 2 and it seems we became fast friends.
If I'd had friends like these ladies when I first became a mom I think motherhood would've come, to me, much easier. But having them in my life now has taught me to appreciate them even more simply because they truly make me a better mom, a better wife, and surely a better woman.
To say the least, 2009 has been a fun year with its own ups and downs, but as a whole I am thankful to have had the lessons to carry with me throughout my lifetime.

Tears...actual tears. Man, I hate hormones. :) I don't know what I'd do without your friendship. It has made stay-at-home momhood a lot more fun. Why don't we women stick together more often?!? Such a joy. Thank you for being who you are. I feel so much less strange about my quirks, when I know I'm in good company. :) Love you dear!
