Ten for 2010

2007 was a year of weddings.  2008 was a year of travels.  2009 was a year of babies.  I wonder what 2010 will be!

Checking off the majority of my 2009 wishes got me keyed up for a 2010 list.  So here they are (in no particular order):

1.  A healthy Lucas.  Lucas was in perfectly good health for 2009.  I hope it continues.

2.  A real vacation.  A trip to somewhere nice and relaxing, somewhere I've never been.

3.  To see my parents again.  Preferably in the Philippines.  Since I came to the US about 9 years ago, I've always been going home every year.  2009 was the only exception when I had a baby.

4.  A promotion.  Doesn't hurt to dream :-)

5.  A visit from one of our friends or close relatives from outside the country.  Something I didn't check off last year--hope it happens this year.

6.  Be 10 pounds lighter.  I'm still 10 pounds heavier than my ideal weight--really need to shed off these extra pounds!

7.  To learn something new.  Anything new--be it snowboarding, pole dancing, a new language, a new sport, a new hobby--anything!

8.  A green card for my sister.  Or at least to get the process started.

9.  Another niece or nephew.  This time maybe from my brother?

10.  A wish granted for Charles.  Whatever it is that he wishes for-- a wish granted for him is a wish granted for me.

My eyes closed, my fingers crossed, I imagine blowing a candle, pulling a wish bone, tossing a coin at a wishing well.  I call unto thee, good spirits of the universe--smile at me and make all my wishes a reality!
