It is time for the New Year! I have recently been hearing people discussing the year's end and what they have done in the last year and what they look forward to in the new year. So, as we conclude, not only another year, but a decade, I have been inspired to pen a list of my accomplishments from the past 10 years. Some of it's remarkable and noteworthy, some of it's just comical, but all of it is real. Here are 33 of the highs , lows, and in-betweens of my life from 2000-2009, one for every year of my life, not necessarily in chronological order....
