The last ever day of 2009.... makes me think about the year that was and the year ahead. I'm not a big one for new years resolutions. I set goals throughout the year, not just on 31/12 every year. Actually, I kind of set goals for the next 5 or so years, not just 12 months. Maybe that's where I'm going wrong in not always achieving them! Maybe I should start smaller and set 12 month goals....

But anyway....
2009 was a good year and a bad year all rolled into one.
It was good because we welcomed our 3rd child, a daughter, into our family. Good because we got our yard blitzed into a usable space. Good because we got through the year without any major accident or illness. Good because I started to lose the baby baggage I've been carrying around on my thighs. Good because I didn't have to work and could watch my babies grow and learn. Good in many ways.
It was a bad year because we lost some friends who should never have left us. Each time we said goodbye, we wished we could start 2009 again and things would be different.

So now I look forward to 2010 as the beginning of another chapter in my life. I hope I can make the most of it and achieve some of my life goals, or at least take steps towards making them possible.

Happy New Year!
