Was 2010 a good year for you???

[Warped9]

So 2010 is done. And was it good (or not) for you?

For myself 2010 started out well then about mid summer it slipped in some respects. Work went from generally good to, well, not so much. As it stands now it's quite possible that it's time for me to move on and find something else.

However, for a change, my personal life started out on a hopeful note...and then got even better. It's a bit of an unusual situation, but I met someone absolutely wonderful. The main obstacle is that's it's long distance, but we write each other every day and we speak on the phone about every two weeks. I'm hoping this Spring I can finally visit her and confirm whether this is for real and she is the one I've longed to find for so long...

And so in retrospect my final assessment is that 2010 has been pretty decent for me. It's been a kind of year I can't recall having for the longest time. And I hope it augers well for an even better 2011.

And so anyone else have an assessment of 2010?

It has been wonderful year for me. I've been working toward my second degree and falling over in my fiancee all over every day. I've been in DC most of year, from the frigid snowcalypse of February to the hot and humid days of July. The wedding is just less than five months away and I'm weeks from student teaching. But I'm busy these days, doing schoolwork, finding a job, and applying for graduate school. 2011 will be a red letter year for me.

I split up with my wife, lost my house to foreclosure, filed for bankruptcy and divorce, lost 65 pounds (intentionally! w00t!), had a disastrous relationship with an old girlfriend (they call them crazy ex girlfriends for a reason), met a new girlfriend (who is awesome), and turned 30.

It was a fairly eventful year. On the whole... pretty good!

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Great year for me.

 

[RoJoHen]

Worst year to date.

 

[Goji]

For the most part, yes. I've had a nice little adventure in Japan, lost some weight, reconnected with an old friend and started a new relationship.

 

[Kestra]

Started out the year typical crazy dramatic kestra style, particularly in regards to personal relationships. But fences have been mended (or at least temporarily patched) over the course of the year. I've learned more about boundaries, as well as my own intelligence and resilience. Ending the year on a good note, as well as an optimistic one.

 

[Timby]

I spent seven months unemployed, had to move away from a city that I loved, and buried my father and my father-in-law within three months of each other. 2010 sucked out loud.

 

[TheBrew]

My best friend moved in with me, I got a nice promotion and raise at work, I furthered my technical certifications, met my soulmate and lived life up. It has been the best year of my life. The only downs was me navigating challenges than I was able to rise up and beat.

I wish the best to everyone else because I have had some horrible years in the past, but somehow I managed to have an amazing one.

 

[Bah Humbug]

Worst year to date.

I'd have to agree.

I hope that 2011 will be better for everyone.

 

[Brent]

Was 2010 a good year for you???

Simple answer, no.

Had a lot of problems that have bothered me, made me kind of depressed this year, not really good. I want better for 2011.

 

[Amaris]

2010, to use a Bart turn of phrase, was a "hideous bitch goddess".

 

[ichab]

For me, 2010 was better than the year before. For those that had a shitty year I hope 2011 is the best year ever for you.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

For me, it was a good year. Some ups and downs but ups prevail and downs had happy ends, so yeah, it was good.

I still hope for 2011 to be better

And that's what I's like to wish everyone: may each next year be better than the previous one

I thought 2010 was decent. I was working, even though I didn't have a full time job, and got to meet some new people in life. However, I feel like I'm at the same place I was to end 2009 in 2010 so I'm looking forward to 2011.

I have noticed though in the latter part of the year I've become kind of an angry person. I'm not sure why since I hope I'm nice to any and all people, but it seems like I'm letting life and a lot of things that go with it get the best of me and I really need to work on improving that. Also, something happened on this board that has made me take a deeper look at myself and wonder how much I should improve and if that would help me socially.

All things considered, yeah I'm looking forward to 2011 and tired of 2010.

 

[RJDiogenes]

I've had better years, but what the hell-- I'm still me.

 

[Shaytan]

No, my father died from cancer on October.
C'est la vie.

 

[Tora Ziyal]

^My condolences, Shaytan.

The first few months of 2010 were fine. Then it turned into the worst year ever.

 

[Miss Chicken]

Personally it was OK for me. My health was the best it has been for about 5 years.

However my mother ended up in hospital twice, my brother twice, my sister had a major and very serious operation, and my uncle died

 

[F. King Daniel]

I really can't complain about 2010. It's been a pleasent, quiet and stable year for me and my family
