thoughts on a year

Well, well, 2009. We have at last reached the end.

We've struggled with some things, you and I (like that awful place at which I spend too much time) and we've had some beautiful moments too (a wedding comes to mind).

Mostly, you taught me many lessons (like how great it is to always be yourself with your love, or that just keeping eleven 7-year-olds in the same room for 40 minutes is something to be proud of).

And thanks to you, there is much to look forward to in the coming year (like maybe a craft business, and perhaps a baby, and hopefully the ability to keep eleven 4-year-olds in the same room for 40 minutes).

So fade out tonight, 2009. I'm off to face 2010. And man, am I going to rock it.
