this has been the WORST year of my life. It began with the death of aunt on Jan 18th and then just got worse and worse, for me and sooooo many people I know. I had a m/c in March, Bells Palsy and a sprained knee (which sounds like, so what? but it was extremely painful and I was on crutches for 2 weeks) over the summer, my aunt by marriage's mother died, 2 of my best friends who had been together for 12 years began the process of divorcing, my best friend's dog died, my cousin's dog died, we lost the last of the family pets we had growing up, my brother wrecked his car etc, etc. The end has been muuuuuch better to us though... we conceived our daughter, DH got a better job.... these things are obviously because 2009 was losing strength and had to let something good happen because its stores of evil were depleting. I am a little afraid 2009 will get the last laugh and I won't survive today.
Anyone else rejoicing in the end of this stank ass year?
Re: I am sooooo glad 2009 is ending...
I'm with you. We've been through our fair share too, and I think what made it nearly unbearable was that it just kept coming without giving us a minute to catch our breath.
But, we're looking forward to 2010 with some big events coming our way and everyone in relatively good health.
2010 is already off to a good start, you're expecting a little one!!!
I wish you a happy New Year
This year had more than it's share of up & downs
Here's to a joyful 2010 for all of us!
I'm sorry for your losses too
I second your toast!
I'm sorry you had such a bad year! I can't imagine all that.
But I am anxious to say goodbye to 2009. I know a lot of bumpies are ready to get rid of it, and move on to a new and hopefully better year.
Good riddance 2009!!
I am SO glad to welcome 2010.
2009 was a pretty bad year for us. However, it was also a pretty good year because among all the bad, there were good things. It has been tough but I truly hope 2010 to be MUCH better.
I couldn't agree with you more that 2009 was a horrible year. My family who had spent years building success lost everything. My parents lost their dream home, my brother was busted at school with perscription drugs (which is a felony and he is only 17), and my parents have split up. Not to mention we have had either my mom or dad living with us for the last year which has added stress to our new marriage. The only bright spot of the year is this little one that we are so excited to meet in 2010.
So ladies here's to a great 2010!
