The end

I haven't looked forward to a year end so much in my life. In most ways, 2009 was dark year for me, and felt like I moved backwards in many ways.

The past decade, however, was great in many ways. Starting out just married and in a new career, and then my son coming to live with us are the highest on that list.

And while I hope for 2010 to be better, my outlook is bleak.
