I don't know about you all, but, on the whole, 2009 was a dreadful year. I experienced the unexpected death of the person who I loved most in the whole world (co-equally with my spouse), dropped out of grad school, have been through depression, developed a full-blown anxiety/OCD disorder (I was already prone to both of these, but the aforementioned death exacerbated the problem. Yes, I am in therapy), moved twice (once in with the in-laws...not the best experience), had a blow-up with my mother (in which she said some things that hurt me so deeply that they will stay w/ me for the rest of my life), changed jobs twice (the first change was AWFUL!!)and have experienced other assorted relationship drama on a pretty consistent basis.

Whew...deep breath.

I am in a better place now (although I am not in a pre-2009 place...and I'll probably never be back there again). Therapy is helping, I am finishing up my degree, am on a different career track, relationships, with family and my wife, have improved significantly. We are very settled where we are living and will be here for a few years at least. Just pray that my 2010 can be a brighter, more hopeful and peaceful year. Thanks. God bless!

*Edit. First parenthetical remark above (co-equally...) hopefully will prevent ppl from drawing incorrect conclusions.

Sure thing, dude! It's a new year. May it be one of new beginnings.

Will do ^__^

I'm glad things are starting to come together ^__^ Just take it one step at a time or more, but try not to overwhelm yourself ^__^ Keep us updated if able ^__^

May this year be better for you and everyone

Thanks to both of you for posting, and thanks to everyone who read this and is praying for me and my family. As per Tsuki's request, I will update you all about everything when/if I can. Thanks again!

I'll be praying for you! A new year with new beginings.

I'm praying for you. I have all sorts of hopes for 2010 as well.
