Don’t Be Afraid, Come Step Into 2010.
Jan 4th, 2010 by meg
Oh Calvin, if only I had your spunk and attitude!
But, as I have read this past weekend, the blogger community is taking time to reflect on 2009 and make resolutions for 2010.
And so, I decided take up the resolution gauntlet in a burst of creative and passionate angst energy, and make a few lists of my own. A word of warning though, do not go to Dooce and read her accomplishments if you are feeling a little punky or down. It will just make you feel like a total punk instead.
Good Things 2009
- Started a blog that has a little band of faithful followers!
- Pulled my house together after a major renovation project. Whew.
- Helped raise $27,000 for a local charity.
- Helped a grassroots community group start a website.
- Checked the Grand Canyon off of my “things to do” list.
- Joined a book club with cool people! (Thanks Anne!)
Good Things 2010
- Continue to write and improve my blog. Discover new bloggers.
- Attend BlogHer 2010. Yes, I registered!
- I need to paint more. It’s my neglected hobby.
- Network more. I should get a real job. I guess.
- Use my new firepit for good, not for evil, i.e., don’t eat my weight in S’mores.
- Improve my Wii Fitness age to my real age.
- Eat more fish.
Hmm, I guess that wasn’t too painful! And I think my list is eminently achievable.
And as I reflect, it’s true we all can’t be a Dooce. It’s simply unrealistic, and we all know stars align just right at the perfect time for some, and that is a wonderful thing.
But we can have a BOSSY, that visits us every once in awhile, and leaves a message in our mailbox on the morning we seemed to need it the most. And what a great way to start the first Monday of the year.
Welcome to 2010 blogger friends!
Hey-you forgot ‘joined a great book club’ in your 2009 Good things!
Awww.
I taught two barely compliant children how to brew coffee exactly the way I like it.
Impressive chickie! You are good.
No resolutions here. I always wing it!

happy to be a member of the band!!
Here, here. If I high-fived I’d high five you right now.
My New Years resolution is to attend Blogher with you! I’ve even started my own blog but need help!

(I need help – I can’t even create a link here while I foolishly try to plug my own blog!)
Whoops – I did it! Duh!
Hey! I’m a faithful follower! You crack me up!
I made a Mii but haven’t visited myself since Christmas Day!
I wanna go to BlogHer. I might need to divert funds from our “Go on a Caribbean Blues Cruise in 2012″ piggy bank.
I’m going to visit Bridget’s new blog.
Sister Mercy, LMSS you should so divert those funds and join us!
