I’m not usually one to wish the days away. I’ll admit that I prefer Friday, Saturday or Sunday to the average workday. But I don’t ever want to skip days to get to the weekend. I like my life for all its trials, I wouldn’t trade it or change much about it.

The year 2009, however, has been a stinky one.  I started a blog  but lost momentum, we got some of our money woes under control, then John lost his job. My mother was suffering from Alzheimer’s, and then she died. Other friends have had similar years. I guess knowing about the day-to-day lives of over 200 friends, means you are aware of many more troubles of those you know than you were before. I love Facebook but I have to say that I know I would not have been so connected to so many other “its been a bad year” stories without it.  I also am seeing friends falling in love, becoming parents & grandparents and celebrating day-to-daylife.

I am ready for 2010 to get here. I won’t tempt faith by asking how could it be worse, I am hoping for a better year for all of us!
