2009 in Review: A Mix of Highs and Lows
29 Dec
I was leafing through my Stradmore jot-down notebook and found Lyle’s wishlist for me for this year. He had 7 wishes for me and only 2 materialized. Going over the things he’d written and remembering what happened in the past 12 months, I can say that 2009 is a mix of personal highs and lows and they are as follows:
Lows
- I procrastinated in everything.
- I didn’t lose a lot of weight (but not as fat as I was in 2008).
- My earnings took a nosedive.
- I got sick a lot.
- A relative passed away (too bad this is the cycle of life).
- I’ve been more than sedentary (close to stuporous, in fact).
Highs
- I’ve been generally happy and contented.
- I learned a couple of things.
- There were blessings here and there.
- I met lots of cool people and traveled some.
- I have become a little bit responsible.
- I am certainly more optimistic.
- I won in blogging contests.
- I made sensible purchases (despite the huge slump in earnings).
I’m welcoming the new year with open arms and I hope I’ll attract more positive energy for a fruitful and wonderful 2010. Happy New Year!
