I've spent the last week wrapping up 2010 and preparing for 2011. Rather than charge forth with all the moxie I can muster, Handsome Husband reminded me that sometimes one must look back on what's been accomplished before making plans to move forward. "How do you know where you're going if you don't know where you've been?" he asked. He's a smart one, HH.
I'm reminded of his grandfather, who would ask, "Where they going? Where they been?" as he waited for his turn to cross a busy intersection. Maybe he wasn't just talking about traffic. Where have I been? More importantly, where am I going?
To find out where I'm headed, I'm looking back today, and inviting you to come along. Rather than bring out everything, including my baby booties, let's limit it to the last 5 years.

Sheila, I may not know exactly where I'm bound, but I'll sure enjoy the journey.
Hello Patricia,
I follow your blog since about one year and it gives me so much in any kind of situations in my life.
I received a award last week and I was told to find 3 blogs that are not realy public, means that they should not have a few thousand visitors. I do not leave posts much, but you and your pictures are a great inspiration for my live and so you are one of the persons I give this award to.
Greatings and lots of thanks to you for your outstanding talent.
