2009 -what a year...It's funny during those slow days (that are due to take place), that you sometimes feel that your life is uneventful and boring. Then you look back at what you've been up to during the last year and you realize that, "oh, maybe not that bad after all..." I think it's kind of healthy to look back at what you've done instead of constantly thinking about what you want to do/want to have, in order to appreciate life. And looking back at 2009 I have to say it's been a quite exciting year. However, 2010 is obviously going to be even MORE exciting (right?!).
I would like to ask you people who are reading this blog what your favorite 2009 moment in this blog has been? (good to know so that I know what you enjoy reading about)
