Year in Review

It feels like just a few months ago that we were out drunk celebrating the arrival of 2009. After reading Time’s Year in Review, I got to time traveling to the highlights of this year for me.
If I could sum up 2009 into one word, it would be: travel. And not travel where I sit poolside, basking in the sun while some handsome waiter serves me Pina Coladas. In fact, the most memorable of these experiences was hardly planned and consisted of making the most of a small budget.
2008-me wouldn’t have ever imagined that she’d be volunteering in Honduras, witnessing Obama’s inauguration in DC, driving along the California coast in a rented convertible, flying in a small plane across Maine, and traveling all on her own to Spain for a week (and loving it). Ok, it feels a bit weird speaking about myself in third-person.
Like any year, 2009 had its downs. One of my close friends passed away and I am still haunted by how quickly we lost him. Sometimes it doesn’t feel real.
What I choose to carry on onto next year is the memories. Cherishing what experience has taught me (and continues to teach me), reliving the happiness I felt, the risks I took, the changes I accepted and the friendships I built.
Bring it on 2010 and here’s to another exciting, adventure-filled year! Happy (early) new year blog-readers
