Saying goodbye to 2010

When I looked at the calendar on my desk, I could hardly believe how swiftly this year has passed. There were so many days; 365 days to be precise. Yet still I didn't accomplish nearly all the projects I'd assigned for myself. In all my hurrying, when I finally came to terms with the strides I have made; as I knew it would happen, my four legged best friend sailed away to her heaven. The pain in my heart due to this loss nearly crushed me. Even so, as I look back on this year, I've come to know some wonderful people. It is these fabulous relationships that bring a smile to my face. Most of these people I came to know thanks to the internet. It also was the internet that opened my eyes to the gaining force of independent professionals. People whose dreams will not be dashed due to the establishment. I'm so happy to know that there are countless people out there like me. For this reason, as I look to the future, I will always do my best to encourage my indie friends in whatever way that I can. In closing for the year 2010, I would like to say, hold on to your dream and never give up until you've finally crossed over your finish line.
