In conclusion...

At the end of 2009, I felt that the whole year could be summed up in one concise statement --

"Shit happens."

I realize that 2010 is just beginning but I think I've already got a good idea of what this year's concluding statement will be...

"That which does not kill me only makes me stronger."

ha ha? :) Here's to an exciting 2010 filled with no permanence and dramatic changes!
