Thank God It’s 2010

Well, another year has passed taking with it the first decade of the new millennium. I can’t say that I’m sad to see it go. 2009 was particularly challenging for me as it was for millions of others. The new century started off with so much promise. It’s a shame that its first decade ended so disappointingly.

But I will not complain. Instead, I choose to appreciate those hard times. I’ve learned in the last month that while good times bring us the most joy, bad times bring us the greatest opportunities for growth. By experiencing circumstances that were less than ideal, I learned what I didn’t want. And learning what I didn’t want helped me figure out the kind of life I wanted to create which in turned has led to a refining of my goals.

Happy 2009!

I’d like to take a moment to wish all of my readers a Happy New Year. All three of you. Don’t fret. I have made it my goal, among other things, to add at least one more reader per month to this blog.

How about you? What goals will you work to achieve this year?
