Looking Back

The turning of a new year just around the corner, for most of us, it makes us reflect over the past year, making promises to ourselves to change this, that or the other, setting inside goals, hoping to make achievements in our lives, little stepping stones of reward along our twisting little lives. The new year begins in a snow storm of white vows.

Of course it is also the time for being sentimental, showing gratitude for the positives, shedding tears for the negatives, lingering moments of wishing we'd done something differently, maybe lowering our heads as we momentarily regret an action and feeling that twang within our hearts for those that are absent in one way or another.

New Year's eve is like every other night really, there is no pause in the march of the universe, no breathless moment of silence among created things that the passage of another twelve months may be noted and yet nobody has quite the same thoughts this evening that come with the coming of darkness on other nights. I mean what is the old saying... An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves. Makes you wonder really, which category you fall under....

Having said this, i can't help myself but look back of this year with wonderment, a smile, a twang of sadness, recognition of hope for the coming year and thankfulness for those of you who fill my world with laughter, friendship and love.

This year has been a carnival in my world. It's leaving a bittersweet taste within my mouth. It's had moments of glory and moments of utter carnage. It was a year quite honestly that i did not plan for. On January 1st last year, i knew exactly where i was going in life, i had it all planned out. Little did i know, what was actually in store for me, was the very opposite of my vision. But i can't complain...but let me tell you, this year coming, there's no plans, no visions, just very strong wants.

Looking back over this year.... i think for me these are some of the most prominent moments... Before i ramble on about them... I want to wish you all a safe New Year. May 2010 all that you hope, wish, need and want for. Slainte!~

My Top 10 2009

* Starting back to college

* Meeting my Mister

* Making Dean's List my first two semesters back

* Sticking to my guns and not giving up

* Walking through Leila Arboretum with my favorite adult person, freezing

* The smell of way of expensive coffee and peaceful surrounding

* My offspring proving once again they are "cream of the crop" and succeeding in school

* Discovering friends I never knew I had in the most unlikely places

* The shortest parade in history.. and learning of Nick's ass fascination ;)

* Will coming back from Florida. Yes he's done me majorly wrong, but he's also been a lifesaver at times.

* The moment I knew my butterflies = madly in love

* Finally coming to terms with myself and my history. My life should be lived for me and not to gain the recognition of unworthy people.


Those are just some of the highlights of the year for me.. whats important to one person, isn't always whats important to another.. remember that. But most of all, what sticks out more than anything is the support and encouragement you have all given me. It's moments like that, you find out whom your friends are, who makes the effort and who doesn't. I sure am a very lucky girl...
