Words for 2010

I have stolen this from Mrs L (and have changed the meaning just slightly by lopping off the end, but I like this very, very much):

...and all the while the earth continues to spin.  2010 begins. Some people will die, some will grow older with grace, some less so, our children will continue to grow and amaze us, our lives will continue to challenge and overwhelm us.  And through it all, I will be ever grateful.
