My 2009 summed up in one word

It sucked. Well, OK, that's two! Hopefully 2010 will be better. I'm off to bed in a bit, tomorrow I'm planning to take some new pictures for my Etsy items. I'll be getting some new products listed and old listings revamped and relisted (several things have been relisted multiple times, I'm thinking about starting a Bargain Bin/Clearance section in my shop just to try to get them sold). I'm also taking an Art course, at some point I hope to add an Art section to my shop as well. The course is fun but it's a little intimidating in a way, the artists I've seen on Etsy are so good! I don't know if I'll be able to compete.

I've seen quite a few blogs with "goals for 2010" type posts, I'm thinking about writing a list of my own to post. I suppose publishing your goals to the world is one way to keep yourself accountable. Have you ever seen the movie The Bucket List? I haven't but I love the idea of it, keeping a list of things you want to do with your life.

What's on your Bucket List?

I am hoping that 2010 will be better for everyone. It has been rough all around. Good luck with the photos and good luck with goals for 2010.

thinking about goals...sometimes that's all I do! I'm trying desperately to get out of my head and really get to work...

and yes to all, hopefully 2010 will be more fruitful for us all.

Sucked isn't a word I use often; though 09 wasn't a good year. My Mother died after a long difficult illness, my daughter was between jobs, and moving from Baltimore to St. Louis, work was difficult. A tough year, hoping 2010 is better.

It's early to say, the weather's been colder than normal, my brother had surgery; but....I'm hopeful.

Good luck at your end too.

yes, my 2009 sucked too! Looking forward a better year, and planning a few things. Someone said your goals should be specific, but mine were not! I think it's ok to have broad goals - you're bound to hit something in there! lol PS, the Bucket List was very good! Good post idea: Bucket List 2010

I'll go you one further...The last DECADE SUCKED. Remember no matter how bad things are...They could be worse! The Bucket List, very good idea, I will look forward to seeing yours. You may see mine, on my blog. Peace.

Yes, it should be a good year ... I feel that just about everyone is thinking that. I have established some goals ... but... slowly putting them into action.

Hope this is a great year for you.!
