2009 Retrospective

On this New Year's Eve, I find myself looking back at 2009 and shaking my head in awe and wonder of the dichotomy of things that have happened.

On the good side:
- I got promoted at work - twice - and am happier and more fulfilled at this job than I have ever been at any other.

- I started meeting with my fellow Broken Writers, a group of lovely, witty, intelligent ladies whose company warms my heart.

- I was finally financially stable enough to purchase a new car.

On the bad side:
- My husband is trying to deal with his horrible, horrible job, and the stress is adversely affecting us both.

- I found out my mother is a raging, unrepentant narcissist who would rather be right than have a relationship with me.

- I have not written anything of note, much less completed a story.


A mixed bag, to say the least. But I am learning that life is neither good nor bad, it just is. With that in mind, we shall see what 2010 brings.

Happy New Year, everyone!
