I started this blog just a few months ago on September 11th, as a birthday present to myself. I didn’t know exactly what to expect as I began. It’s been a thrill for me.

Tracks in the snow. You. You there. I know you’re out there…quietly tiptoeing around in the dark and leaving behind your analytics. I see the trail you leave. I so love to hear your shouts from the etherworld. Overwhelming me with your opinions, hopes, rants.

I want to thank you for reading. I don’t think I can tell you how much it means to me that you take time out of your day to do so.

That little thing you do is so meaningful to me.

Thank you.

My personal goal was to hit 2,500 unique visitors this year and I hit 2,501.

Thank you again.

Here are your favorite posts in order. You picked all my favorites. Hope you enjoy.

Since I am embracing “don’t ask, don’t get” this year in a brand new way, I’d like to ask two more things of you. If you haven’t subscribed, it would mean a lot to me if you would. And if there’s a post that speaks to you, please share it with a friend.

Thanks in advance.

Your Faves From 2009

  • 10 Life Changing Lessons I Learned From Painting…… I been very surprised over the years by what painting has taught me about life—and I don’t mean about appreciating form and color. Painting is the one thing I can’t multi-task my way through.

  • What Makes People Mean……..I don’t know what made me think of this story today but I want to share it with you. At a young age, it taught me that things and people are not always as they seem.

  • When People Leave …….We all have a team–a team being that group of people, family and friends, that you rely on in good times and bad. They are the people you reach for first.

  • Romper Bomper Stomper Boo………Do you remember the first time you realized your sweet perception of reality was not the reality of the situation? Its an eye opener. I’ve got a little story about that.

  • My Funny Valentine……Your attempt at perfection is exhausting me. I mean, really? And also, why? All of those flaws you are constantly picking at—you need to stop it immediately—unless your flaw is chewing with your mouth open. Correct that one NOW. Here’s a secret.

  • Lucid Dreaming……..I’ve been thinking a lot about goals lately, what they mean, how we reach them and how they change us.

  • Pray To God But Row For Shore……….How do you move through the most difficult of situations and make it to the other side?

  • The Gift That Keeps On Giving……….You lucky bastard. You heard me, you magnificent, lucky bastard. I know you may be having some tough times right now. Maybe you feel alone.

  • My Little Fontanel……….We all have a soft spot. And I don’t mean *a soft spot for someone else*. I mean our own tender fragile spot that shouldn’t be touched.

  • Loving The God Damned Moment …… Yea, you heard me. This moment–this stinky, metal on metal, fit last season and now it doesn’t moment.

    • Your 2010 is going to kick it.
