Reflecting on it, I realize that I've had some terrific experiences this past decade. I survived Seattle's Nisqually earthquake in 2001 (althopugh the building I was in did a lot of swaying), I saw my youngest child graduate from college, I joined Toastmasters and am still learning, I started (and finished) my second career, I met my BF and traveled around Cape Horn on a ship with him. And more. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and lots of highlights in the decade ahead. Belinda, What a great and timely post.

It's kind of trippy to think in terms of decades. for instance, I can say that I'm 4 in decade years ;-). ...and loving every day as the years go by. Thanks for the reminder.

I must admit I broke down when I gave her that final hug. I wasn't expecting it but it happened (cried like a baby). She is very happy now at her new home and I'm off tomorrow to pick her up to come home for a 4 week holiday break. Crazy how time has flown! Thanks for this thought-provoking post. Best, Bob Hi Belinda,

You know, it didn't even occur to me that this is the end of the decade until I read your blog a few minutes ago. I look back and wonder where that 10 years went. It seems to have gone by so quickly. It seems like just the other day we were worried about Y2K. I have so many great memories, I think i'm going to need to jot them down and spend some time enjoying the thoughts and memories of years gone by. Sounds like a great activity to do with the family.
