I picked this up off the Wilddogs forum. With the recession biting and retrenchments happening all around us, how has your year been? Give us some feedback.
Here's a rundown of mine:
Lows - A small health scare at the being of the year neccessiting an MRI scan but nothing else worth mentioning. Besides, by the time January gets here they'll be a thing of the past.
Highs - Finally bought my Hilux and got to play in the dirt with you guys , got blessed with our 2nd Daughter, financially stable, recommitted my life to God and started Studying (BSc).
Must admit, I wouldn't want it over but God has blessed me out of my socks.
So how was your 2009?

Re: So how was your 2009?
In a single word ......... nah, it would me mod-erated anyway! 
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: So how was your 2009?
To sum 2009 up, for me, was a very challenging year
Low - Saying good-buy to loved ones and managing family matters without a handbook....
High - Meeting wonderful people throughout SA and keeping in touch with friends.
Looking forward to 2010 :!:

Re: So how was your 2009?
Life is good......Don't ever allow circumstances to determine your life......Highs and lows will be forever with us.What we do with the circumstances,or how we address them is what matters.Some things we can change.........go ahead,change them..........others we cannot...........accept it.That is my way of handling life.

Ditto and it feels great. I also paid off my house this year and is now doing renovations cash. I paid off my carShamrock wrote:My year was great!

debt in 2008 already.
From now on I am going to try and stick with advice I got a few years back: "If you can't buy it cash, rather live without it..."I also thank the Lord for giving me a very blessed year. Very busy though, but busy is good (or so they tell me...
)
