Dear 2010,
It is with great joy that I say goodbye. Great. Very. You've been a truly rotten year on so many levels. I never would've thought it possible until I lived it. Does that make me a survivor?
Hoping (praying, too) that your successor will do better.
No fond farewells from me,Yup, that's what I'd say if I could write 2010 a letter.
Thank you to each and every one who found your way to this corner in Blogdom. You have made the year bearable and kept me sane. ( Let's not question this. ;> )
Here's to a much happier, healthier and
I agree on many levels, Vee. May this new year ahead bring us to a deeper level of love, peace, joy, gratefulness and all that is good ♥

Yes, Vee. You are a survivor.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a delight to get to know you this year. Looking forward to a better year next year.
Wishes for a much better 2011...you couldn't have said it better!
ReplyDelete2011 promises to be a very interesting year for us. Here's hoping that it is interesting and less stressful for your family.
ReplyDeleteSo glad we could save your sanity. For sure, you are one of the sanest people I "know".
I look forward to another year of posts from you at A Haven for Vee.
My sentiments exactly! A Very Happy New Year to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteVee,

My heart has broken for you this year, and I know that you want to quickly slam that book shut and give it a fling! I will pray that 2011 will be a year of renewal for you.
ReplyDeleteIcy there, hu? ,-)
ReplyDeleteNow that you want to look forward to 2011, come over and read what *my man Charles* has to say... Wheeeee... -sigh-
Gentle New Years hugs, anyway...
Praying that 2011 will bring back the joy in your life.
ReplyDeleteWho could blame you for feeling that way after the year you've just been through? I would say you are definitely a survivor.
ReplyDeleteI hope that 2011 is a much better year for you.
Vee,
ReplyDeleteI am ready to kick this year to the curb too. I realized the other day that I spent a goodly part of it being sick. Here's to health, happiness, and hopeful days ahead.
Happy New Year!
Wishing the very best for you and your family in 2011...God Bless!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!

Dear Vee,
ReplyDeleteThis year ended for me on a high high note. My young friend, who had ovarian cancer and underwent chemo etc., was pronounced cancer free on Tuesday.
Jeff and I wept with joy and gratitude. Grateful is how I'm signing off from 2010. Let's hope we all do better next year.
Love,

So understand and so agree...I would have never thought I would have survived through our trials...only by the grace of God. Unemployment, loss of house...the list is just too long, but He was faithful and I look forward to this new year and seeing His faithfulness again...may your New Year be more than you could ever dreamed!!! Wonderful dreams come true!!

Hi Vee - just wanted to wish you a wonderful 2011 filled with nothing but good things and blessings from above!
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel - I've been there, too. I'm sure we all have. It's been an extremely tough year for you, and so you just let it go! Dwell on the positive, look forward to what 2011 has to bring, have some fun now that you're freer to move about, kick up your heels!
I'm praying for you, friend!
I too am ready for a new year...2010 not my fav either.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year and blessings to you and yours!
Youhave had a difficult year Vee but you have come through and I know that you are stronger for it. None of us like the difficult times b ut they are the times that grow us in faith. I can only say this having had a very difficult year here too.
ReplyDeleteBlessings.
Ditto what Barbara said...you have handled it well.

Oh, I agree with you 100% Vee. It's been a terrible year overall, yet not without joy. Odd, really. I wonder how I'll feel about it when I look back on 2010 in another decade.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you as well, Vee!! May it be a good one for all of us.
