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.
