As I write this on December 31, 2009, I am somewhat hard-pressed to come up with anything that made 2009 stand out. Yes, there was the worldwide recession, but technically that started in 2008, and, though many economists say we are out of it, I don’t think we’ll be completely out of it until sometime in 2010, perhaps later. There were many other things that happened in the world, but when I look back, I am only looking at the smaller scale of my life. Nothing really bad, nothing really great, status quo is always a good thing, and I am happy about that.
2010 is already shaping up to look like a good year, my wife and I will be turning 30, which, for me is not a huge issue, but for my wife I am sure it will be a grand event. The Olympics in Vancouver are coming fast, and I’m sure this will help the local economy, though we’ll be paying off the debt for years.
On a smaller scale, I’m looking forward to 2010, there are many ideas on the horizon, business related and other. So, here’s to a great finish of 2009 and a wonderful welcoming to 2010, of which we’ll be spending new year’s eve with great friends and family. I hope you feel the same.
