Goodbye 2009

2009.

A year of movement, of transformations and personal growth. A year of fun, new friendships and enjoyment. A year of study, new passions and results. Also a year of sadness, health issues and lost loved ones. A year full of good times, great memories, laughter and smiles, but also stress, worry and learning to accept what life throws into the mix.

Overall, 2009 was a year of change.

SOME GOOD MOMENTS:

-       Moving to the city and living in my own apartment

-       Starting a design course which I love with a passion

-       Achieving a high distinction average for said course

-       Meeting new people and making new friends

-       Learning about other countries and cultures

-       Embarking on a coach tour of Central Australia

-       Appreciating the importance of family

-       Finally learning to respect myself and my body

-       Discovering that I am strong and I am fit and I will reach my goals

-       Laughing with my bestie

-       Adventuring through the suburbs of the city

-       Road tripping to the beach with new friends

      SOME NOT SO GOOD MOMENTS:

-       Losing my beloved grandfather

-       Stressing around folio time

-       Spending my first night ever in hospital

-       Dealing with some recent health problems

As with every year, 2009 was full of both good and bad times. However, I still feel that it has been the biggest, most important year of my life. During 2009 I have finally grown as a person, become comfortable to be myself and begin creating the life which I want to live.

I have high hopes for 2010…but my thoughts about that will come tomorrow with the first day of the new year. 

Happy times to everyone.

Goodbye 2009.
