With just a couple of hours in the year 2009 left and the 2nd decade of the 21st century about to start, it’s time to look back at what has been a very good year. 2009 has been a year with a lot of highlights, and in retrospect I can’t really think about anything happening that I didn’t like.

I am glad I was able to travel a lot in 2009. Jeanine and I visited The Gambia and Izmir even twice. I am writing this from the warm Canary Islands, a good place to be to welcome the new year 2009 was also the year I bought my first car, and although it immediately required a lot of fixes it’s still running happily Having a car is one of those things you can’t live without once you have one.

Another major improvement to my live was the laser eye surgery I had done to get rid of my contacts. Having my eye-sight perfected to 130% I can say it was a really good decision. I’m glad I finally gave in to Jeanine and just had it done.

So what will 2010 bring? Well, it’s bound to become an ever better year! Starting from February I’ll start working on my final thesis in my company: dotBlue. Also, I intend to do a lot more blogging (but probably Dutch only).

Regarding New Year’s resolutions: as every year I have quite a list. But I think it would be better to just keep them to myself, as I have a track record of breaking them within the first 2 weeks of the new year.

I wish everyone a very healthy and successful 2010! See you on the flip-side!
