2009: A reflection

Happy New Year’s Eve!  I hope that you are excited for your plans tonight!  I am headed to The Corner Kitchen for a wonderful prefix, great cocktails and awesome wine.

2009 was a tough year for me.  In fact my late 20s have been tough as a whole.  2009 really solidified some not so pleasant things in my life and gave me a lot of growing pains.  A few examples:  1) my parents are no longer married.  Their divorce was final in November of 2008 and I have spent the past year dealing with that.  I haven’t seen my dad since the summer and that’s really hard.  2) I learned the hard way that sometimes certain people in your life only step in for a little bit and then exit.  Friends/people can be like the seasons; they can change at the stroke of a chilly wind.  However, I do see the growth I experienced in 2009.  I am a little bit tougher and feel I have gotten better at making decisions that are free from pleasing others and move along a more important line:  the best decision for ME.

I haven’t written down or really thought of any resolutions for 2010 but as right now, I need to embrace the spontaneity of it all.  I’ve always been a big planner and I need to really let go and let life just happen.

Happy New Year!  May you enjoy your night wherever it may lead.  Please be safe!
