2010: FRUSTRATING
2010 was a year of setbacks. I went from finally recovering from my 1st marathon & the cough that wouldn’t die in December 2009 and training for my 2nd marathon, to a summer of foot pain & waiting for surgery. The architect went from being unemployed to contract work to unemployed to contract work to unemployed to a temp position that he does not really enjoy and doesn’t have any benefits (except for keeping him from being unemployed). In the beginning of the year, I was planning on taking the architect to Italy to celebrate his 40th birthday, but instead, I had foot surgery – almost as expensive, not nearly as much fun. I’m not saying there weren’t good points, but overall, I felt frustrated at every turn.
2011: ATTAINMENT.
I just want 2011 to be a year of attaining goals. In running. In employment (for all members of the household). In finances. In happiness. In all things attempted.
