Boy... I have been wanting 2009 to end.
It's been a tough, tough year, and while it doesn't feel like it now, it is probably one of the years that will add value to the remaining years to come because of how much strength it took to get through it.
All the same, I'm glad it's over.
And, I'm glad that I brought in the New Year with my beautiful friend Christie, whom I met on my last trip here earlier in the year (which... I still haven't blogged properly about). Yes, I did say 'here', meaning I am currently in Denver, after spending just over a week with my family going to Los Angeles, Anaheim, Oakland, San Mateo, Oakland Again, San Mateo Again, San Francisco, Vegas, Arizona (for the Canyon) before finally splitting from them and coming to Denver while they go to Texas. Phew! I'm glad that I'm here and I'm enjoying the calmer pace to bring in 2010.
I have a lot of changes I want to make in 2010. I've always begun each New Year with a bit of a roar, thinking OMMA GAWD THIS YEAR IS GONNA RAWK, and I did the same thing going into 2009. I don't feel the way this year.
I feel like I'm on a mission, that I have a list of things I need to get through this year, and that getting through them will open more doors to my own happiness and peace of mind.
I know I haven't adjusted well to the changes in my work situation which has impacted how I do my blogging, and for those of you who have stuck around, I'm thankful and humbled that you have. If I were a reader of this blog, I would've lost my patience a long time ago.
I want to be back, and I still am constantly thinking like a blogger. I want to be blogging and miss blogging. I'm thinking of ways to make that happen, as well as other things I need, and THIS is what is going to be my driving force in 2010. Not just a General State of Awesomeness like past years, but more of an Awesomeness Because sort of feeling.
While I would understand if the gaps between posts would drive you away, I do hope that you stay around with me as I go through this new chapter. I know what I need to do, but I'm also nervous, as these are bigger steps than I ever would have taken before, and I need as many friends around me as possible.
Happy 2010. Let's get to work.

Do you think it will work?
You're the only kiwi blogger I know and have met! I ain't going no where :D If you ever need to talk you've got my email :)
keep up the awesome work. 2009 was a crapper year for a lot of people. Probably my worst ever. But, like you said... the events of 2009 will guide us into a much better future.
I'm still suffering living with my parents, like you are. God bless them but holy crap, sometimes they're enough to drive you insane, eh???
Welcome to 2010, Raina! Changes are great when you choose to make them, it can be a rough ride sometimes but as you've said, it will set you up for happiness in the long run. I am so glad that in 2009 I was able to make the changes I needed to make... it was a tough year but now I'm going to grasp the opportunities I created.
Hope to see you in Auckland again soon, and have a safe return home.
