Whenever this time of year rolls around, most of us start thinking about where we have been in the past 12 months, what has changed, what has stayed the same and where we hope the next year will take us. It is only fitting that I put together a little list of the ups and downs of 2010, followed by a list of goals and hopes for 2011. It is seriously going to take me all year to get used to typing 2011… I just got used to writing 2010 on everything! Who is with me?
I call 2010 the “Year of Roller Coasters” for so many different reasons. No, I didn’t head to any theme parks, but I did enjoy my fair share of ups and downs. Thankfully, there were way more ups than there were downs. I think we will focus on the positives only here, so we can leave the year on a happy note!
