jimcarter 2009 in a recap for me:
- First year of marriage to my beautiful wife
- Moved in with my inlaws
- Had the worst tax year ever
- My Grandmother passed away
- Started shopping for a home
- Decided to re-define my business and take a huge risk
- Dad had open heart surgery
- Bought a home
- Rebuilt a home
- Father-in-law diagnosed with cancer
- My Father diagnosed with cancer
- Moved into our home
- Incorporated my business
- Hired 4 employees
- Father passed away
- Wife’s grandmother passes away
- Father-in-law made it through chemo, now in remission
- Grandfather (88 years old) falls and breaks hip
- Grandfather makes it through surgery against all odds
- I’m still working 18 hour days, but getting better each day.
I’m going to keep this short and to the point. If you think you’ve had a rough year, I challenge you to top the hell my family has been through in 12 months time. I stopped posting here because I simply needed to focus on other things, but I miss blogging dearley, moreover I miss having this one extra outlet to enjoy talking about the things that keep me going. If I could manage to stay on top of my game with all the above happening in my life, you can as well.
2010 will be a wonderful year. On a personal level, I dont see how it can get much worse, so I’m only looking towards the best that can be brought. And I somehow know I have the will-power to stay strong and make it happen, because there’s no room for handouts.
To a swift return, and a wonderful year to come.
Jim
