2010
Wow, it’s 2010 already. 10 more years and we can all finally label the decade properly and say we’re living in the “twenties”, instead of stumbling over the silly sounding “noughties” and… “teenies”?? hehe.
In 2009, I accomplished… nothing significant personally. Sigh. No new skill, no interesting career, still haven’t picked up yoga, or tai chi or any of those new fangled aerobic dance exercises… fitball?? zumba..?? Didn’t do anything that contributed to society either. No community work, didn’t write a book, didn’t change the world… zilch, kosong, nought(ie).
I don’t feel as if I’ve done anything in line with what Oprah - my inspiration - says to do. ie. “Live your best life.” But, I don’t feel too guilty about it either
After all, I didn’t make any new year resolutions last year, so can’t be disappointed if didn’t accomplish anything! OK.. I do feel abit guilty. I mean, what’s the point of life if you don’t do anything with it?
I wasn’t planning to have any resolutions this year either - they are so… “last year” aren’t they? but maybe I should, just so that I do achieve something.
The only thing I’m proud of from 2009, is what all full time stay at home mums would have in common - their kid(s).
I’m really happy with how Keira has grown and developed. She is our little star - 70% of the time. 30% of the time she’s our little monster
But, as predicted 2009 was another year devoted to her.
So in 2010, maybe my resolution - besides bringing up two kids as best as I can - should be to do something in terms of personal development. Find some way to get part time work and earn some money maybe, or learn to sew, something I’ve wanted to do forever, or at least attend a play or a musical just to get some arts and culture into my life.
I think as long as I achieve even one of these things in 2010, I’ll be satisfied.
Can this be done with a toddler and new born baby on the way? We’ll see.
Here’s wishing everyone a great year ahead! Happy 2010!

i think you’re amazing MC and you’ve achieved lots! keeping this blog alive, keeping in contact with loved ones - trust me, not everyone is good at that. And i think 2010 will be amazing for you, what with baby #2 and all. Some personal goals will just give you an excuse to love yourself more, so probably good idea cos you might forget yourself with two babies and a husband hounding you day and night. But don’t think you haven’t achieved anything cos you have!! xx
