Hello 2010

Poof goes 2009

Hello 2010.

I got into reflection mode a few days ago. I posted my 2009 review yesterday and I started to think about a direction for 2010 but I’ve been totally out of ideas.

I desperately want 2010 to be The Year of Renovations. The year of ‘finished before this baby arrives renovations’ actually. But I’m not putting all my eggs in that basket again because there will always be set backs and changes and I’m not fun to live with when I am disapointed.

Maybe 2010 could be the year of insanity. It already feels like we will have so much going on – the girls starting school, finding ways to keep Muski busy when he is home alone, another person being added to the family, as well as all the usual craziness that we seem to attract. Despite the fact that I’m pretty sure I could achieve the goal of insanity, it’s not exactly a very positive one, now is it?

Trying to think of something positive but not perfectionist got me where I needed to be. 2009 wasn’t perfect, but it wasn’t horrible either. Sure I could whinge and complain and say nothing went right, or I could smile and remember all the things that did. It just depends on how you look at things. That is a lesson I really need to learn.

So 2010 I officially dub thee the year of….

Enjoy the small things.
Make it work, make it beautiful and be proud of it.
Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be wonderful.
Rejoice in every day.
