It’s the end of the year, and it’s time to start reminiscing on what we are leaving behind and looking forward to what is ahead.
The year 2010 will heretofore be known as The Year of the Flood. Our whole world changed when we had to gut our basement and “move upstairs.” It basically feels like we live in a really expensive 3-br apartment. Crazy, huh? Well, remodeling downstairs will be done by the end of the year and we’ll get our two-story little house back!
It is also the year I finished my MBA, and the year both my husband and I got new jobs! These are big changes, but ones that made us a million times happier than we were before. It’s really amazing how our quality of life has improved as a result of taking a chance and doing something new.
2010 was also the year that Taylor Swift won 4 Grammys, that the Healthcare bill passed, that new arsenic-based life was discovered in Mono Lake in California, that the Chilean miners were rescued, that The Hurt Locker beat out Avatar for best picture, and a woman wins best director for the first time (James Cameron’s ex-wife, Kathryn Bigelow), the year that Spain won the World Cup and the year of the BP oil spill disaster.
So what’s waiting for us in 2011? There’s nothing that obviously stands out… So I guess it will be the year of surprises 🙂
What are you looking forward to in the new year?
