As promised in my last post (seen here) there are some things I did like about 2009. I don’t know that I can come up with 10 of them, but I will list the ones that stick out.

I left North Carolina. While I hate moving, I couldn’t get out of NC fast enough. Just not my scence. I know lots of people that love it, want to move there, or want to visit there. More power to ya. I love the mid-atlantic coast from it’s IKEAs and public transport, to its excellent school and cultural offerings. I hope never to be south of Virginia again.

I started blogging. It turns out to be fun, and there are a tons of bloggers out there who are supportive, welcoming, funny and intelligent. And most of them are women. If you aren’t reading a blog written by a woman, you are missing out. There is a perception that all women bloggers are mommybloggers, and that is simply isn’t true. Yes, I may write about my children on my blog but that is in no way that will be my main focus in writing this blog (of course, I love the mommybloggers and read them all the time. WORD).

One word: Twitter. There are two groups when it comes to twitter; it’s a life-changing way to communicate or a waste of time. I am in the former group. I have met an amazing group of people on twitter (and, yes, the requisite amount of creeps too, but that is what the unfollow button is for). These people will laugh at my jokes, read my blog, encourage me on a bad day, and always have an answer to any question that I have. Thank you twitterverse!

My job. I have been at my job for over 5 years and I still love what I do and the people I work for. Not many people get to say that, but I do, and I am thankful.

My mom came to see me. With her living on the west coast, I don’t get to see her very often, but she flew out here this year. I do truly love it when family visits.

My best friend came out to see me before I left NC. She lives in Montana, and seeing her again gave me joy beyond words. I keep trying to get her to move to the East Coast, but so far, no luck.

And, the usual blessings, which I NEVER take for granted: our health, our family, our careers, and so much more.

Stay tuned, 2010 may turn out to be one HELL of a year!
