And on into a New Year!!

So the 2010 year is over and we are started into 2011.  I have had some beautiful births, some heart aches and some neutral experiences.  The good news is that I have more positive experiences than negative experiences.  The bad news is that I still get hurt feelings over things that probably should not bother me, but do.  I have worked hard.  I have played hard.  I have walked on the beach.  I have cried over things I cannot control.  I have survived a law suit and continued to be a midwife. 
2010 has been filled with lots of changes, lots of growth, and another year under my belt.  I miss my daughter and my grand kids in England.  My heart aches for my daughter who is trying to conceive.  My heart sings for my little sister who is fighting her way back from mental illness and doing a grand job.  I realize that my Mom and my In Laws are another year older and we cannot know how much more time we have to share with them.  I love having time  with my husband.  He is fun to be with, funny to be with and all in all one of the most supportive, loving people on the face of this earth.  When we are both working, it is hard because we are both mentally doing our own thing.  I want to be sure that nothing ever disrupts the love and respect I have for him.  I want to insure, to the best of my ability, that we spend the remainder of our lives together.  I love to walk on the beach with him.  I love to cook a meal with him.  I love to sit quietly next to him and read a book.  I love to work crossword puzzles with him.  He is my muse, my love, and my soul mate.  I cannot imagine life without him.
2011 brings me new opportunities to live and to learn.  2011 offers me more time to be with my lover and life mate.  I plan to be more diligent about my exercise and eating well to insure that I continue to remain healthy.  No broken bones this year!  No joint replacements this year!  I want to continue to master my emotions and not allow events to catch me up and cause me to lose sleep and be cranky.  I plan only to worry about the important things.  I want to be motivated to take action and see the results.  I want to have an impact on the world in a good way.  I will continue to offer the very best care that I can to the women who choose to see me for their maternity episode.  I will strive to create significant emotional events for the women and their families in order to help build strong families and create beautiful birth experiences.
I wish the very best for the world and the people that I come into contact with.  I wish for beautiful births.  I pray for healthy families.
