It’s the last day of the year and I’m sitting in my office. Not my home office in which I have to pick my way through all the “boy stuff” to get to the computer. But the real office where they pay me money to show up and do actual work.
This is not where I want to be today. I’m not sure where exactly I want to be today. Perhaps the zoo. Yea, the zoo. The zoo is really nice in the winter in Florida.
Since it’s the last day of the year, I feel somehow obligated to post about something. Once again, I’m not exactly sure about what. I’m not really one for retrospectives or resolutions. In my opinion, they’re right up there with holiday letters. Yes, 2009 was a year chockfull of momentous occasions and transitions for me. Just as I’m sure 2010 will be. (Hey, I made a rhyme.)
As I sit here, I do have one feeling. Disappointment. Really, I am feeling better. However, I’m a little disappointed for two reasons.
I’m disappointed in myself for letting my communications with some friends (near and far) drop. Yes, the past couple of months have been a tad bit stressful and I’ve been a little overwhelmed with family matters. My family always comes first. But is that an excuse? After reading Suzicate’s postings the past two days on friendship, I’ve realized that I need to take a more active role in my friendships. I could have given up five minutes of sleep to send a friend a note, an email, or even a text just to say hello. I have the stationery and the technology. I plan to use it.
I’m also disappointed at work. Since work is one of my “no-no” topics for my blog, I won’t go into details. I love my job and where I work. But I’ve noticed that some negativity has slipped in through the chinking. Perhaps it got through my defenses because I was overwhelmed with family matters. Whatever the reason, I plan to greet the New Year at work with a big, shiny smile and positive attitude.
Well, now you know what I did for part of my lunch break on the last day of the year. Exciting stuff, eh? Now time to eat some food and get back at it.
Happy New Year!

We shall 2010 head on with a smile and a laugh. Why? Just to keep them guessing. I love you and no matter what that's not going to change.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I'm with you on all of these sentiments. We should talk off-blog. :)
We'll miss you on Sat...but it's funny, I'll tell you. This trip might not be meant to happen. A few others who were planning on meeting us there have bailed too.
Give me a weekend & we'll plan a girls' trip. Happy New Year, PLRH!
I hope 2010 brings you much love and happiness along with the usual transitions we must go through in life. Hang in there, and meet the world head on! Happy New Year!
