Happy New Blog! – A year in review

A new year, a new blog and a world of possibilities. I’ve never felt more at peace and excited for the days, months and years ahead. Looking back on 2009, I only have great memories and a great outlook to accompany them. As some might know, 2009 wasn’t an easy year for my wife and family. Between endless doctors appointments, increasing medical bills and very little support from our health care provider the accident tested our strength. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Right? Absolutely. If life was easy, we surely wouldn’t appreciate the blessings that we have. It’s hard to appreciate a beautiful day if you don’t have a rainy day here and there to give you perspective. Well, the universe (without getting to philosophical) will provide you with everything you need if you just look. What started out as a small idea, while driving home from the doctor’s, became “Things That Make Her Smile” and a true enlightenment of what loving friends, family and complete strangers could create. We raised over 12,000 dollars. All I can say, once more, is “Thank you, thank you, thank you” to everyone who contributed to the success of it. Between this project and the growth of Droze Photography we were able to cover all the medical bills and put the accident behind us. Carolina’s last surgery was just shortly after her 30th birthday in August and she is more than happy to offer up a huge smile to anyone she comes in contact with. It’s amazing how bad a dark situation can look when you are completely engulfed in it but how quickly things can balance themselves back out.

Happy New Year to everyone.
