An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves. ~Bill Vaughn
I find myself somewhere in the middle of both of those statements.
I will not be staying up until midnight tonight for two reasons.
1) I have to work in the morning.
2) My husband will be at work, so I would be alone with no midnight smooch.
A solid thumbs down to that.
Now, am I a pessimist that wants to see 2010 get out, or an optimist that is anxious for the arrival of 2011? Again, I'm precisely in the middle.
2010, you weren't exceptionally great to me, but you weren't horrible either. I'd give you a 75%, and I'm grading on a curve. Nothing that bad happened directly to my husband or I. Thank goodness for that. Sure, there were selected work woes, and other nasty tidbits; but it wasn't bad. I also did not hit the lottery; So there was nothing exceptional either. Another solid thumbs down to that.
When I sit and think 'What happened in 2010?', the first thing that pops in my head is that we adopted a retired K-9 after my husband got his job with the Sheriff's office. He is our second fur-baby.
So, 2010 was an overall alright year; We're all here, fur-babies and humans alike, not in perfect health, but in one piece and breathing. That's good enough for me.
That will also be good enough for 2011. I've definitely lowered the bar and my expectations, just sayin'.
