greatbear | Happy New Year

Unlike many here on LJ, I am not going to post photo retrospects, top best/worst music/movies/etc or anything similar. Instead, I am going to shoo '09 out like the obnoxious, destructive adolescent it's been to me. There were a few bright spots, but overall, it was one of my worst years, and I am not sad to see it go. So many disappointments, injuries, health issues and work-related hell that really need to go away.

The bright spots seem to belong more to Jeff, who's career change has left him with more time for himself and the opportunity to take vacations without the specter of last-minute cancellations. I am hoping this leads to a more enjoyable decade ahead. So far, so good.

Twenty-Ten is going to be one of rebuilding for me/us. Trying to get the house and yard fixed up, inviting more of our friends to share in good times and good food, seeing more of the world we live in. Lots of promises made, now it's time to put them into action.

I wish everyone reading this all the best the new decade has to offer.

Happy New Year!
