so today marks the beginning of the new year.  last night was such a blast, literally. 2009 was definitely a year to remember.  although 2009 had its ups and downs, i think it has been one of the best years i ever had.

2010 will be an even more remarkable year, and I foresee many great things happening.  everything so far has come into place, and many “distractions” have faded away from the big picture.  i don’t have much on my new years resolution list, but one thing i want to do this year is to do things 100 times better than the last.

this year marks major milestones in my life.  i have a professional career ahead of me, i have my good health, family, my faith in God, and all my friends.  hopefully the new year will be good to me, and in a couple of months I will reward myself with one of the things i’ve always wanted and talked about.  the other things are a bit more challenging, but i’m gonna do things one at a time.

just like my one of my daruma, i have yet to fill in its second eye. this year I WILL finally paint it. we will see.  so i wish everyone i happy new year.  let’s make 2010 the best year ever together!
