What was the worst thing that happened to you in 2009? The best?
The worst thing that happened to me in 2009 was that I had such a tough time finding a new job here in Fort Collins. I have enjoyed the freedom of unemployment/self-employment, though, despite the resultant financial stress. I must confess to some apprehension regarding my new job, which starts in two weeks, but I think it will be a nice change to have a job that is just a job, not a career or a life. And I can continue to work on my business to satisfy my need for a creative outlet.
The best thing for me in 2009 was the move to Colorado. I do miss certain things and people from my time in New Mexico. Lots of them, actually. Too many to list here. But my life in Colorado is already a big improvement in many ways, and I see it only getting better in 2010.
