The end of the first decade of the millennium has come and gone. It sounds so exciting when you put it that way. The end of a decade. I remember clearly New Year’s Eve of 2000 and all of the excitement and commotion it caused. It’s hard to believe that it’s already been 10 years. So much can happen in 10 years.
I decided to go ahead and try to remember some of the highlights and share them. I started to write them out with brief explanations, but the post was going to be way too long. I decided to go with a list, and hopefully the items will be pretty self explanatory. I would be interested to see what other people would say they did if they had to write out the last 10 years in a list. It really wasn’t as easy as you might think. It’s hard because you think of the things you did that were good and that you were proud of, and also the things that hurt and you are ashamed of. The regular day-to-day fun and excitement seem to be the things we forget, so the list is left with some awesome things and some things that are pretty dreadful. I guess it’s the day-to-day excitement that makes the list not so overwhelming.
Here are some things that I’ve done since 2000 (kind of in chronological order)

I don’t expect anyone else to make a list, but I wish this was something everyone did so I could read about other people’s decades. I can’t wait to see what 2010-2020 brings. Happy New Year Everybody!
