Year in review? Not here!

All over the place I am seeing people look back on their accomplishments of the last year. Their favorite books, highlights, recipes, vacations and more. You won't be finding any of that in the Arevalo household. 2009 was a black swirling vortex that sucked me in. 2009 wasn't all that I wanted it to be. 2009 was hard, and grueling, and sometimes cruel. There were moments that I did not think I would make it through. But I did. 2010 is my first step in a different direction. 2010 is my fresh start. And every fresh start needs a theme song.



(So damn easy to say that life’s so hard
Everybody’s got their share of battle scars
As for me I’d like to think my lucky stars that
I’m alive, and well

It’d be easy to add up all the pain
And all the dreams you set and watch go up in flames
Dwell on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain
But not me, I’m alive

And today you know that’s good enough for me
Breathing in and out is a blessing can’t you see
Today is the first day of the rest of my life
And I’m alive, and well
I’m alive, and well

Stars are dancin’ on the water here tonight
It’s good for the soul, and there’s not a sole in sight
But this motors caught it wind and brought me back to life
Now I’m alive, and well

And today you know that’s good enough for me
Breathing in and out is a blessing can’t you see
Today is the first day of the rest of my life
Now I’m alive, and well
Yeah I’m alive, and well
