2009, My Year in Review

Written on December 30, 2009 – 3:47 pm | by Abigail Abrahams |

2009 Will go down as a great year for me.

I set two clear goals –
1. Complete the Two Oceans Half Marathon
2. Work on my blog regularly and get my first Google Adsense cheque

By April my work for the year was done!

Not actually…but I achieved what I set out to do.

The defining moment of 2009 was with 15 minutes to go during Two Oceans.

I felt like the end was nowhere in sight and some part of me didn’t feel like I would make it.

That’s when the hard headed side of me said a few swear words (I would rather not repeat) . Because no way was I giving into defeat.

That was that. I shifted to a new gear and got home with 7 minutes to spare.

I have seldom been more proud of myself.

However, I kept that never say die attitude in other situations during the year.

I also let a few friendships go – without drama. And I made new friends who made me laugh and vice versa (hopefully).

Two-sided friendships are better than one-sided ones.

Work-wise I had one or two moments I’d rather forget. At the same time I have a colleague who knows how to support me when I over react. (hey, I’m an Aries. We get hot headed sometimes ;-D )

So my working year was less stressful than ever.

No huge family dramas, thank heavens, if you dont count my Mitchell’s Plain aunty’s usual mutterings :-P .

So it’s almost goodbye to a most memorable year.

However, 2010 I suspect will be even better!
