In 2010 I will make sure to remember the connection between my relationship with myself and my relationship with the world, and I will do my best to take care of and understand myself, instead of listening to the inner critical voice that sometimes calls it a waste of time.

This is a great exercise, thank you for asking your readers to participate!

What was the most important thing you’ve learned in 2009? I learned that Donald and I can handle anything, even moving in with his parents and living on a single, small income for almost the entire year while Donald dealt with unemployment and depression.

What did you absolutely love about 2009? I loved learning more about myself, starting my blog, and creating a new, supportive community.

What do I want to do more of that I didn’t do enough of in 2009? I want to enjoy myself more. I want to build on the faith and happiness that I have discovered. I want to start a family.

What did I do in 2009 that I’ll never do again? Everything and nothing. I’m open to all possibilities and I know that I’ll do my best to make the most of anything that comes along.

Joy,
I love your idea of “just being.” I need and want that as well. I’m moving it to the top of my list.

What a radiant sunflower! Brightens up this rainy So CA day:)
The most important thing I learned in 2009…hard to say because I learned so very much in 2009–was a “learning year” for me, full of lots. I think my biggest lesson was it’s okay to let go…of whatever “it” is, just let it go….
There was much to love about 2009–I am exactly where I am supposed to be and I try to take time to appreciate it all as I am in it.
I want to do more…oh boy, off the top of my head I could insert many of my favorite activities here, but in reality I want to do more of “just being”. Being in the moment, experiencing it as it is, not projecting, not expecting, not anything but being.
“Never again” is tough because honestly in my life if I have ever used the word never, it pops up as a huge lesson somehow…there are situations I hope not to have to repeat but I also know they were worthwhile so I had to go through them this time around.
Very thought provoking questions to end this year………

Good for you and I hope 2010 is the year all your dreams come true. You have a wonderful mission, one which is badly needed in the world. xo

Megan,
I hear you roar! What ever it is you’re up to is already snowballing to you for 2010. You truly walk your talk and make the world a great place for all near and far.

Z.
Yes our blogging community is full of wonderful people and I love you back. I’m being more efficient as well. Happy 2010, I enjoy watching you grow.

Liara,
What a wonderful compliment coming from a wise wonderful person.
We’ll both shine our way into 2010! xo

Jannie,
My mom didn’t make them all though she made a ton of other goodies. I got them at the bakery a block from school with my lunch money of course.

Tabitha Blue,
I can’t wait until Baby Blue arrives. I’ve so enjoyed your journey and photos. The best to the Blue’s in 2010.

Simply Stephen,
OK I’ll be counting on you getting social. Love the joy your daughter brought you and I’m jealous of your garden!

Wilma,
I can’t wait to see you and women life me grow in 2010. Remeber if there is anything I can do to help I ‘m here. I had the gift of growing up in nature on the farm. I’m so happy you are there enjoying it now. The best is yet to come. xo

Hey Tess.
These questions would take me a week to ponder over but I will give it a go.
What I have learned in 2009 is to be peaceful, THAT has been a real hard work out to get to that.
Peaceful for me means to do things NOT coming from fear but coming from a peaceful be-ing, knowing that when I add value and come from love everything will work out.
That means that I can slow down and do things thoughtfully, I do not have to rush to achieve quantity above quality.
I do NOT have to be the first to comment, I do NOT have to work mega hours to show up on every social network I can find.

I also have understood the importance of creative thinking and what is stopping me fom doing things differently and be the change I want to see.
I love having moved to rural NZ in 2009 and I loved how nature IS a teacher, the sceptic in me never believed it.
And I loved that I in 2009 too have met so many wonderful blogging people who make my heart sing. It is, as some of your peeps here say, wonderful to meet like minded people.
Yes Tess, it has been an extra ordinary year and may many more come.

I never regret anything, I did what I did with the knowledge I then had and if my Little Voice says otherwhise I am doing my hardest to shut it up .
Lets rock on to have another extra ordinary 2010, all of us with the help of our friends.
Love to you all, Wilma

What was the most important thing you’ve learned in 2009? – sometimes you don’t realize what’s important, until it’s too late. Don’t make this mistake, life is fleeting – enjoy it.

What did you absolutely love about 2009? – without a doubt it was my daughter’s visit, her first time coming alone to see me in Canada and my first visit with her in almost 2 years. I also love my garden, the first in many years, my new living quarters and my free hugs challenge. The list goes on and on…I have so much to be thankful for.

What do I want to do more of that I didn’t do enough of in 2009? – being such an introvert, I would like to say get out and socialize. Oh and play the guitar (plus a bit of songwriting) a whole bunch more.

What did I do in 2009 that I’ll never do again? – nothing, nothing, nothing. I’m trying to live with no regrets and have learned never to say never.

Great post, Tess!! With the loss of my pregnancy (still have a hard time saying baby) at the beginning of the year, I’ve really learned the importance of life, and enjoying the lives of my family! Now expecting again, and with the baby due in 2010, I most definitely believe that 2010 can be so much better than 2009, although I still believe I’ve had a great year. Thanks for getting us thinking

Hmmn, Tess, as I recall in Canada we did not fill our long johns with custard, well not if we could help it. And if we did, Mom would not be impressed with us. She had enough laundry to keep up with already.

And I’ll have to check out those Hanky Pankys! Thanks!
