It's Just Another New Year's Eve...Another Night Like All The Rest.

Now you would think that it being New Year's Eve and all, I would actually have some profound words or thoughts that might make it a more meaningful night for you out in blog land. Sorry, I have nothing! I have been reading a few bloggers who seem to have a handle on inspiration, but sadly, as of right now, I am highly uninspired and prone more to wanting to sit and watch an entire season of The Office on dvd rather than sit and wax poetic about the year that was 2009.

It wasn't a great year, it wasn't a bad year, it was just a year.

Perhaps I will miss parts of it, the sweet start of the year and the second chance it brought me, the sultry summer time spent with my child savoring every precious free moment as we awaited the start of her school career. The cool autumn breeze that blew into our lives even more changes than kindergarten for my girl, as it brought a job for me, not sought after, but much loved and much appreciated. The winter time approached bringing holidays and ultimately a bittersweet goodbye, a change in my world and my thoughts and finally, now, this night, the end of the year.

2009. A year I won't forget, it is quite unforgettable really. It taught me so much, it gave me so much, it ultimately took so much from me and it has marked my life as a before and after from now until I am no longer on this earth. I am grateful, I am glad, I have no regrets for the lessons, or the teachers or the stumbles or the getting back up and trying again. It is life.

Thank you 2009. Thank you to the people in my life that made it special, to the old friends that made it fun, to the new ones who kept me sane, to my family who loved me through it all and to you my readers for coming back here day after day even when the material wasn't worth the trip!

Happy New Year Everyone....2010, Here We Come!

Living Happily in the Moment!
