I miss my scrapbooking and hope to get back to it soon....A word for 2009? I think at this point I might go with "home". Trying to find it and define what it means to me has been a challenge. We have a house but since we spent the first 6 months living with my in-laws in Japan, we're busy now trying to make the transition back to life in the States and essentially re-adapting to our home. I'd like to have a sense of home wherever we might be, but first I need to really define what makes my "home" for me. Oh papercrafts!

Just enjoying right now for what it is. As I'm getting ready for the birth of my first child, I'm trying to enjoy everything about pregnancy and also the freedom I have now as someone without children. But I'm also trying not to worry about how my life will change once this new person arrives, or when and how we're going to get pregnant with a second one. Right now is enough to occupy me and bring me happiness as long as I let myself just be here, right now. Thanks for this post - it's nice to have a forum to declare my theme for the year!
