A Haven for Vee

Waiting for the Ball...


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 prosperier prosperous New Year!

  5. 2011 promises to be a very interesting year for us. Here's hoping that it is interesting and less stressful for your family.

    So 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.

  12. Who could blame you for feeling that way after the year you've just been through? I would say you are definitely a survivor.
    I hope that 2011 is a much better year for you.

  13. Vee,

    I 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!

  15. Dear Vee,

    This 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,

  19. 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!!
    Happy New Years!!! I have enjoyed getting to stop by your blog and visit!!

  24. I so hear you!!! Some years are so difficult that you cannot wait for them to end! I have had a few myself.

    I love the antique postcard image--it is one of the loveliest I've ever seen!
    Hope & pray that the coming year treats you much better!

  28. I'm glad to see 2010 gone, too... and pray that this new year will bring blessings on your family, ours, and all the others who read this blog and keep in touch via this electronic means... where we are so far away, and yet so near to each other!

  30. Hi Vee - just wanted to wish you a wonderful 2011 filled with nothing but good things and blessings from above!

    I 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!

  32. 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.

  34. 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.
