If I were to take the time to count the numerous family members, friends, acquaintances, colleagues and random strangers who share my feelings about 2009, I know that number would surpass the fingers on my hands. I must admit, it's nice not having to endure the tough times alone, but misery also loves company does it not? Misery might take me hostage, force me to write a novel and break my legs! I digress. I know it's not a secret that our economy is in dire straits ("money for nothin' and your chicks for free?") and words like "funemployment" are being made-up in an attempt to laugh so we must not cry. All this said, 2009 of course wasn't all bad...I never said it was, what I did say was that it was challenging. By many milestones, it was THE most challenging of all my years thus far and I feel a tad bit defeated. Which means I must do what my parents did and continue to do: keep your head up and never give up. My parents have endured more than I could ever imagine and have always overcome their adversities. They will always be my guiding light.
So, instead of looking back and regaling myself with what I did wrong or what I did right over and over again - I'm just going to keep looking ahead and moving forward. I deleted my old blog since it had accumulated too much cyber cobwebs & dust. Not to mention it just felt like baggage I needed to unload.
This blog is going to (hopefully) be a year-long journey and something different: a small window into my head, my heart and my life. From big to small, from random to specific and everything in between.
I'm planting the seed, let's see what grows...hench: The Hatch.
