Things that didn’t suck about 2009

Although it has been a trying year, 2009 was also full of some truly memorable events in my life:

New Years Eve/Day in Amsterdam, followed by an outstanding week introducing my lovey to Paris
Successfully tapering off the evil antidepressant
Selling my money pit of a car and “making it work” with public transportation
Going back to the gym and attending regularly, then finding joy in bicycling and yoga
Giving up (for the most part): meat, sugar, alcohol, dairy, caffeine
Losing 30 pounds, and holding steady for 3 months (though it is high time to re-commit now that the holidaze are over!)
Getting my finances in much stronger shape during very difficult economic times

Thank you 2009 for all the tough love 🙂 I am more than happy to carry on!
