[...] and I both focused on this last year and decade here and here. Needless to say, we’re completely different people than when we were cheering in Y2K [...]

I haven’t read the rest of the post yet because Tads’s blog is loading so I can read about your boy. I’m sending big virtual hugs – it’s the hardest right thing to do in the whole world.

There may be stuff missing, but I find it a very thoughtful and full post. Happy New Year and enjoy the next decade.

I’ve had this post up in my browser for days and just didn’t know how to comment. I still don’t except to thank you for the honesty, the rawness, and the soul in this post. I love that you chose the word ‘learn’ to reflect a decade…it says so much about you. I hope the new decade finds you ever closer to your goals!

Thank you for that great post. It inspired me to look upon what the last decade brought up for me and boy: there was a lot!

Wow. Yes. I don’t know if I have the stamina just now to do a decade retrospective, and it won’t be public, but if I do, you’ll be able to read it you know where.

I still believe in intentions, because even if I don’t achieve them in one year, there is a time like this to look back on the trends, plus the things that happened that gave us opportunity to learn and maybe change direction when we were not expecting it.

Wonderful thoughts. Thanks for sharing your reflections of your decade. It’s been a pleasure getting to know you a little over the past couple of years – I wish you all the best for the coming year.

i recently read a saying which translates “don’t regret wrong decisions. even a wrong decision is better than no decision.”

whenever i come to read here, there’s something connecting with you – maybe it sounds stupid because i don’t know you in person, and i’m aware that even though you’re a very “true-to-life” writer, there are things you don’t share. understandably.

anyways, you’re right with every word you wrote. i’ll try to remember to see the good sides, even when life kicks my back.
because if life kicks your back you may be able to jump even higher. ;)

What a thoughtful and lovely post. Thank you for sharing.

You hit the nail on the head for me when you said that “even the simple things are decisions”. Its important to remember when it feels like life is weighing us down.

i feel like i’m often saying thank you when i visit you in this space — you have a way of articulating thoughts and feelings that resonate here with me, even if the specifics are different. there’s something quite lovely (amidst the honesty regarding struggle and loss) about both the continuity and the opportunities for renewal and brand new things in this post. thank you, mel.
