Thankful

Thought this has been one of the toughest years for me with money in my life, it's been one of the most enjoyable and amazing years.

- I moved to Seattle, which has to be one of the most beautiful places on earth.
- I got a job at a place that I consider my co workers to be like family.
- Morgan and I, while failing at a romantic relationship, became great friends.
- I met many wonderful, awesome, diverse people this year.
- I met someone that made all of the excruciating pain and sadness of the last two years seem like it was worth it all. I am enriched beyond my expectations with him, and happy just to wake up next to him almost every day.
- I have become far more positive in my outlook on life in general.
- I no longer have panic attacks that cripple me.
- I don't cry every day any more.
- I poop rainbows now.

It hasn't been an easy year. I still dealt with a *lot* of the fallout of last year and the year before. And while a lot of this year wasn't pleasant and i am still broke, the end of this year has made up for it in spades. I am satisfied with 2009. I think 2010 will be fucking amazing for me. Like off the charts good.

(BTW...thanks Nic. :))
