Goodbye 2009, Welcome 2010....

Does anyone else feel like each year has it's own personality?  Sometimes the year is frustrating and trying, but I learn a lot.  Sometimes the year is fun-filled and entertaining, but kind of trivial.  This past year was definitely a year of change.  It was my first full year without Dad.  It wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be, but it wasn't easy either.  I had to learn to work without my sister around.  Don't get me wrong, I wasn't a good employee just because my sister was there.  However, I often feel it was her guiding influence that helped me to be an outstanding employee.  My goal for this year is to find inspiration in others I work with and in myself.  I am an outstanding employee because that's who I am.  If I am going to work, I am going to make it worthwhile and be proud of what I do.  Period. 

2009 taught me that I can survive the things I think are going to be too hard.  I can do whatever I put my mind to.  I think I had forgotten that for a while because I hadn't truly been pushed in a while.  But life isn't always easy and sometimes the things that are truly worth it aren't easy to get.  2009 wasn't an easy year, but I will still remember it fondly....I'm kind of sad to see it go.  It's like a friend you've grown apart from.  It's not exactly what you need in your life right now, but you got a lot out of it while it lasted.

So here's to 2010.  I hope that this year holds some good life lessons, quite a bit of fun, and some new adventures....
