The Year in Review

Dear 2010,

You were a year I can't easily describe. There were very high points, a lot of new things experienced, and some less-than-desirable moments. You ended on a positive note, filled with goals and ideas in the midst of self-discovery.

The blog of one new thing a day started out with the best intentions and in full vigor. About mid-year, it became hard to upkeep and became a week in review recap. Then the last two or so months of the year were all but forgotten. Not that new things were not happening, they just were not being recorded. So lesson learned - blogging every day is, for me, too hard.

I really enjoyed doing it. The best part is having a record of all the new things I experienced this year. So 2010, you were the Year of the New for me. Not bad. Small and big things combined to make it a pretty exciting year. Although you ended slowly, you still ended happily, in good health, with laughter.

With much gratitude,
Aidan


So onward to 2011. It's exciting sitting at the edge of a brand spanking-new year and wondering what it may hold, for better or worse. Better, hopefully. With a lot of hard work, the support of great people around you, a positive attitude and a bit of luck, I have a feeling that this year will be fulfilling and successful for you. Cheers to you and the ones you love - best wishes for 2011.

Here's to a bright New Year and a fond farewell to the old,
Here's to all things yet to come and the memories we hold!
