A forum I frequent every now and then has a topic where you can say goodbye to 2009. Thought it would be interesting to do so in my journal.

Dear 2009,

You gave me a lot of things this year. You gave me back an old, good friend, but also provided me with two new friendships: Judy and Mindy. Two friendships I cherish a lot. They are both people who don't live close to me, but they are both wonderful people. And I'm happy they entered my life. Judy I've met in real life a couple of times and it's rare for me to instantly feel good around someone, but with her it just was good the moment we met! Mindy I haven't met, but she's given me a lot of inspiration and my spirituality back. And most of all, my belief.

You also took some weight of me. Not as much as I'd hoped for, but still more weight than none. You helped me to focus, to get through with it. I never thought I could lose weight, but I did. Let's hope 2010 will give me even more strength to lose another 10-15 kilos!

You've also been the year of my niece, Rosalie. She was born perfectly healthy on September 17th, the day Tori performed in Amsterdam. Rosalie is now 3 months old and I love her more and more! It's really special to be an aunt.

Tori concerts also happened. First one was in April, which sadly was cancelled. I still had a wonderful time in London though and it really was something I needed!
The London shows in September were both wonderful and I'm still extremely happy I was able to go to both shows.
The Amsterdam show happened on the day my niece was born and I can't remember much from it. The Groningen show was the nicest surprise of all! I think out of the 4 concerts I went to, this was my favorite. An intimate setting, my dear friend Inge with me there and just...special.

The best gift you gave me was myself. You placed Emil on my path, someone who helped me to find myself back. Someone who took me by the hand and showed me what a wonderful person I actually am. Last year my life was a mess. This year everything's so much better!

Dear 2009, thank you for everything. This year has been a good year, an insightful one. I can only hope next year will be as insightful, if not more, as this year. I hope to continue to maintain the friendships I have. I hope to continue to find myself back. I hope next year will help me to discover who I really am, what my life goal is, what I have the world to show. Somehow I believe you'll pass your inspirations onto 2010.

Again, thank you.

Lots of love,

Nancy
