I used to love to blog. Blogging helped me. I had community with blogging and it was fun. Unfortunately, the community I blogged in wasn't for me anymore and so I walked away. As I left that audience, I lost my drive to share and communicate as I once did. I miss the blogging, not the space.
My wife just started her Facebook. I helped her get it started and reconfirmed why I don't belong there. I am sure she will have fun with it.
2009 was a hard year. I had many amazing blessings and have walked through some very painful things as well. I am slightly optimistic about 2010, but with several open wounds that I don't see healing anytime soon, I see more pain in my future. I need to pray more, there's a resolution.
I won a fantasy baseball and a fantasy football championship this year. Sadly, those are two of my proudest moments from the year. Don't get me wrong, I had many great things to rejoice about, however, those are in my frontal lobe right now as "joy."
My family is well and that is a great joy. Cindy went through her second bout of "basal cell" cancer. We are blessed that this is all it was. She started her first year of "job share" teaching. That has gone wonderfully. Our girls are incredible. Both growing up too fast. I often feel like Adam Sandler in the movie "Click." This is where I do find most of my joy - family.
Some of my joy can also be found in friendships. I have witnessed several good friends get married this year. We have gotten close to many of our friends in our Care Group from church. I have also seen good friends drift away. Many due to me leaving the "space" while others chose to walk away.
While my optimism for 2010 may not seem too exciting, I must say I am cool with saying goodbye to 2009. 2010...Thanks. You got here just in time.
