After a quiet start to 2010, the past few months have been some of the toughest yet, with one emotional stab after another. There hasn't been a lot of good stuff to happen in this year, which makes the bright spots, when they've blossomed, that much brighter and my gratitude that much deeper for those unexpected but much appreciated bursts of goodness.
So as this year winds down, I have been thinking about the bright spots and thought I'd share the top five things I am grateful for in 2010.
5. FIFA World Cup action. I know it may sound silly, but this exciting tournament is one of my absolute favorite sporting events and it only comes around every four years. I love international play and miss it acutely when it ends.
4. Having an old friend get back in touch after a long absence.
3. Meeting someone new who has become a quick and big part of my life.
2. The RWA National Conference. It was an amazing experience for me from top to bottom - the absolute best yet!
1. One of my nearest and dearest confronting a cancer scare and getting through treatment.
A yucky fact of life is that no matter how bad we might be feeling at any given time, there is always someone out there in the world who has it worse than you. So to all of you who have had a year of bad, I send you my deepest, heartfelt sympathies. I hope you get bursts of goodness to help counterbalance the tough stuff.
xoxo,
bex
