To be honest I wasn't really keen on doing this this year, but I'm a sucker for tradition and this is year four.
HIGH POINT OF THE YEAR?
I'm not sure I can pin a specific moment. Not in a debbie downer way, but I'm not sure. I took a couple of personal days to just go out and spend time outdoors, which was wonderful and provided me a lot of clarity and re-centering.
LOW POINT OF THE YEAR?
My church firing the preacher I loved and the ensuing (and ongoing) consequences.
LESSON LEARNED THIS YEAR?
Perseverance is hard.
BEST HOLIDAY?
Thanksgiving
SONG FOR 2009?
"Still" by Zoe Group has meant a lot to me.
BEST MOVIE OF 2009?
I don't know. Um... Benjamin Button or Up. I'm not sure if Benjamin Button came out this year, but I saw it this year.
BEST BOOK OF 2009?
A Million Miles in a Thousand Years
by Donald Miller really impacted me.BEST TV SHOW OF 2009?
30 Rock is hilarious to me. I'm compare myself to Liz Lemon too often. I also finally caught up on Lost, which was fantastic.
ANY REGRETS?
There were times I should have kept my mouth shut.
BEST DECISION MADE THIS YEAR?
Several times I had to purposefully decide to do nothing and wait. I'm terrible at that, but it was the best decision.
BIGGEST CHANGE OF THE YEAR?
Church has changed a lot. Work has changed a lot.
WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR?
Keep on keeping on.
WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS FOR NEXT YEAR?
To do better. To balance work and relaxation. To abide.

Happy New Year Ann. I pray that things will get better at church, I've been in churches where things have fallen apart, and it's the most uncomfortable place to be.
I pray too that you have wisdom and strength to handle the changes at work, and that you will find plenty of time to relax and do what you need to do for yourself.
Thank you for all you share with us. May God bless you in 2010.
Tim
I still haven't read the new Donald Miller book. I bought it when it first came out and I still haven't gotten to the book. Thanks for reminding me that it's time I get to the book. HA!
