2009 - Year in Review

Well I am 10 days from my 25th birthday and am looking back on the crazy year of 2009. With a little over two weeks left in it, I figured it was time to sit and evaluate the ups and downs, turns and twists, good and bad.
This has been a year of really high mountains and deep trenches.
I battled depression, came close to falling off the cliff into alcoholism, learned to be thankful for what I have, and started to see what really matters in life.
This year I was a buyer, a planner, a laid off worker, and a planning coordinator - all at the same company.
I learned how quickly I can adapt, how strong I am, and that certain people actually think I'm pretty damn awesome.

Beyond work, my personal life followed a similar pattern. Moutains and valleys all year long. Most recently, I fell from my mountain top back into the reality that is my life.
Another guy, who lies and cheats, and then acts innocent. I could write a book on the behavior of such jerks.

Then there is the way I spent my time, delving into a passion, helping build my inner strength and heal the wounds new & old.
Music.
I am beginning to really believe in the saying my mother has about New Year's.
Whatever you are doing is how you will spend that new year.

I brought in 2009 enjoying music, alcohol, and friends.

And not surprisingly, 2009 was a year of great music.
I saw lots of favorites, discovered great new music, and surrounded myself with awesome people who also have a passion for music.

Looking forward to 2010, I hope I continue to have happiness and success in my life.
I am thankful for the struggles and disapointments 2009 brought. I feel like I have become a much stronger person and hope to continue to find stength in the years that come. I am thankful for the people who stood by me through thick and thin, it has never been more clear to me who really matters in my life. Thank you for all the love and support, I don't know where I would be without all of you in my life.

So to everyone, happy holidays and God bless.
