2009: a retrospective
By marissa | December 15, 2009
Now is the time of the year when society looks back on the past year and reflects on the best and worst of the past 365 days. Most times, I don’t take the time to do the same for myself, but this year is one to document. I didn’t do that great of a job documenting what happened in 2009 in this blog, but I did keep pretty good track in my mind.
Every now and then, a year comes along that changes things and 2009 is one of those years. I didn’t get off to the best of starts, but in the end, this year shaped up to be a pretty awesome year. Here’s a list of things to remember about / things I’ve learned this year for me:
- Family can surprise you
- Friendships were made, lost, strengthened, reconnected or redefined
- Change can be scary but awesome at the same time
- Opportunities are made
- Summer was one of the best ever
- In the moment is a great place to live
- Photography rocks my world
- Good food was made and shared
- I saw two of my favorite bands in concert
- I’m pretty awesome – it is a pretty powerful realization
- Happiness comes from within, but is multiplied when shared with others
- Vacation time is a gift to be used up
- I 5K’d this year
Many of these things don’t mean much to you, but they do to me. And if you happen to have known me during this time. Thanks for being part of the journey.
Thanks 2009. You rock.
