The gym.  Yep.  That is definitely on my resolution list.  And I am pretty sure that the gym will be deserted, dusty, and as void of life as a graveyard is.  I am SURE that I am the only person in San Diego who has that on the list of “Things I want to do more of this year”.  And denial is a powerful thing.

I am actually not much for resolutions.  My personal theory is if you have something in your life you want to better or change, why wait till the New Year?  Do it today.  I know, the new year offers a fresh start.  It IS inspiring to feel like you have a blank slate and can start anew.  I get that.   For me though the new year is really a time of reflection and thankfulness.  And the year 2009 gave me SO MUCH to be thankful for.

The top of my list is, with any doubt, Sundin Photography.  Yes, I love my husband and I love my two year old daughter with all my heart and my life wouldn’t be complete without them. Noting that,  I think the reason that Sundin Photography is at the top of my list and is such a blessing is because from the start of this business just over a year ago, it was an act in trusting God.  It is NOT AT ALL my personality to “go on a limb”, and I am pretty sure that starting your own business falls into that category.  I am a play it safe and routine kind of girl.  So when I think of the fact that Daniel and I started this business, that alone feels like a feat.  Then add in the fact that there are people who WANT to hire me to hang out with them and do something I LOVE LOVE doing, well, that is nothing short of a miracle if you ask me.

This business fulfills SO many of my dreams.  Dreams I never thought would be come to fruition.  So today, as the year is coming to a close, I just want to say THANK YOU.  Thank you to all my blog readers who encourage me daily and make me feel like someone might actually want to hire me.  Thank you to all of you who have believed in me and support me and told all your friends about me.  Most of all, thank you to all my clients who inspire me as an artist behind the camera and as a person in life in front of the camera.  So many of you are just truly beautiful people, with big hearts and a real joy that touches me in ways I cannot express.  It is because of you that I love my job and because of you that I can have a job!  :)

Many thanks!  I wish you all a Happy New Year and a blessed 2010!

"Thank you!"
