2010: Discovering a new direction
Funny thing about year-in-reviews and New Years Resolutions, you don't know what to expect in the future - what obstacles and surprises life has waiting for you. About this time last year I took a moment to, not only reflect on the previous year, but also make some plans for 2010. I called it my 10 for X list, a set of healthy choices I wanted to make more often than not for myself. I had no way of predicting, at that time, how things would turn out in 2010. Getting fired, being threatened with foreclosure, launching a consulting business, starting an internet corporation - none of this was on my radar. All I could do during this time last year was to set out some goals and dreams for the months ahead.
Now it is a year later. I can look back on 2010 with 20/20 clarity and see how I did with the 10 for X list. And, than God I have Facebook to remind me of all the exciting things that happened! (... oh, and a fairly comprehensive blog/diary -- I have this resource too)

As with everything in life, there were ups and downs to this year. I've observed, however, the down times came when I was being lazy. July, September, and a little bit of October appear to have been sorta low points because I wasn't pushing myself in any area. Conversely, I was quite productive in April, June, August, November, and December. So the takeaway for others here is to remain motivated and active with positive goals for a happy life. (The more you know. *shooting-star*)
So for no other reason than consistency with what I did this time last year, I want to summarize what 2010 was for me and my life. I'm going to say that 2010 was the year I stopped thinking like other people and started thinking like Sam. Everything has been up for consideration in my life, everything has been analyzed and most everything has changed. My life today looks different than it did this time last year but, more importantly, my future looks different as well -- bright, exciting and challenging.
So upon all that reflection of a year gone by, I here by dub 2010, officially, as "The Fork in the Road Year." It's the year my life plan took a turn into the unknown.
