Very interesting to read a recap of the year - I think I need to write mine down as well. It helps to remember the good things and puts the negative events in perspective. I am so grateful to you, my friend, for your insight and talent and for the fact that you are willing to share so freely with us all. I wish you wonderful things for 2010! Shalom!
