RTBTCKI (The End of 2009 Edition)
Dec. 31st, 2009 10:30 amIt is snowing outside. It started when we woke up and is supposed to turn to sleet then rain then back to snow during the day. But right now it is big fluffy snowflakes and the ground is covered along with the roads.
2009 had its ups and downs. A couple of the downs really hurt and the ups didn't sustain us through the downs but we came out on the other side rather intact. We lost friends and loved ones this year. We made new friends as well. We traveled to new places and visited old haunts. All in all, pretty much a typical year. Here to 2010 being a better year because the last couple have kicked me pretty hard in the teeth
I kept the blog going which I have been doing for six year now. I am kind of proud of how many days I did post. It is something I do in the morning to clear my brain and start up the day. And to add to my social networking, I did join Facebook this year under Kathleen O'Shea David so old aquantiences can find me as well as those who met me after I was wed. I am currently not tweeting. I think Facebook is as short as I can go. After that I can text to those who need the information.
A lot of people are talking about the decade so I went back to think what happened to me in the past decade. At the beginning I had a job that I loved and a boyfriend that I loved. 10 years later I married the boyfriend and we had a lovely daughter together. I was downsized out of the job, which was sad at the time because I did love that job. However it allowed me to be really relevant in my daughter's life, which I continue to be.
It has been a creative decade for me. I have expanded my horizons and learned how to make new things. I took a doll-making course from Wendy Froud that really helped me become a doll maker rather than just a dabbler. I made new puppets and revamped my Doctor Who set. I created Phluzzies. I had a story published in a Doctor Who anthology, which fulfilled two checks on my bucket list, to be a published author and to write Doctor Who. I showed my artwork at various conventions and a gallery. I have been more public about what I do in terms of my creative side.
I learned and I taught others. I laughed and shared a good laugh with others. I loved and was loved in return. And in the end that's really all I ask out of life.
What do I want out of the next Year? That's a tale for another day.
Happy New Year and may it be a good one for us all.
I am grateful to all that happened to me in 2009.
