Sounds like a perfect way to ring in the New Year.  I stayed home with my boys, and when they fell asleep I spent the time journaling about what I learned in 2009 and what my intentions are for 2010.  I wanted to share with you a blog that I really enjoy reading, and I think you'll get a lot out of it too, especially related to the new year (ie. his latest 4 - 5 posts).  Happy New Year!
