Late last year, my friends and I decided that 2009 was going to be 'our year'. Perhaps it was the positive outlook before it started, perhaps it was the stars, perhaps it was just life, giving us a great 12 months. I'm not sure how it ended up being so good, but it has honestly been one of the best years of my life.
It wasn't perfect of course. There were breakups, wondering if I could pay my bills, phone calls laced with tears, lost friends, a house that wouldn't rent out, the fear of no savings for my holiday and work got the better of me on more than one occasion.
But you see, none of that seems to matter in the whole scheme of things. I bought a house, I have managed to make ends meet and I've learned to manage my funds. I paid off my car. I met a gorgeous boy and despite hurting me, he also taught me a lot about myself. I can now acknowledge that I am now SO much better for the experience. I've met some of the coolest people! Th relationships that I have with them is wonderful and I couldn't imagine life without them. I've decided to go to university and get my self a piece of paper, I'm enjoying my work more and I have a routine that suits me very well.
I have grown so much in the last 12 months, I don't think the girl I was last year, would recognise this one. I have become stronger in my own character, more confident in who I am and what I believe in. This year is full to the brim of happy memories! A fantastic birthday that was *exactly* what I wanted, I met my Holly, I've been creative, I've been totally silly, I've been loved, I have loved, I started the Lovers' Diary & gotten to know so many of YOU!
I reckon 2010 will only get better.
All my love and thank you, so much.

Yayy sounds like a valuable growing year! xo, Mel
I think each year gets better. At this time of year, I tend to look back and think "well, I could have done that differently" and I know there will be things in 2010 that end up that way, but hey - 2009 is gone and 2010 is here and it's going to be better. It always is :)
PS: I'm glad I know you.
