It's Been Forever... I Know

It seems I’ve gone AWOL since my last entry was back in early October. I assure you this isn’t due to a scandal of the Tiger Woods nature or fleeing to Argentina to be with a mistress. No golf clubs were swung or trees hit. I’ve been busy and not been busy so that’s not really an excuse. There’s not much I wanted to say so I didn’t. Now that the end of the year is coming upon us (and since I can’t sleep), I thought I’d write something. Not that anyone cares, but this is more for myself to look back on.

Looking back on the year, it wasn’t as bad as what I thought it would be. Sure, the economy is not so great, but there seems to be signs of hope. The world isn’t in complete shambles and it’s not ending yet. At least not until 2012, so we have a couple more years left. So they say…

The year began with lots of snowboarding and new responsibilities at work with our project manager leaving. It has certainly been a year of learning and traveling. Work was busy for most of the year except towards the end. Doing mostly project management this year has been a learning experience with its ups and downs. I’m glad to have the experience, but know for sure that it’s not something I want to do full time. Two road trips within a month, four visits by friends and family, a dozen or so trips to the slopes and two grand in winnings to close off the year—I feel quite lucky to say the least.

Did I accomplish all the goals I set at the beginning of the year? No, but this gives me all the reason to try harder in 2010. Mainly working harder on the list of personal creative projects I’d like to do.

2009 went by in a blur, but I’m ready for 2010. Hopefully it will be a year of achievements, just as the winter olympics is set to take place in Vancouver. It should serve as good inspiration and motivation to reach for the “gold medal” in all the things I set out to do.
