Not wanting to let 2010 go yet
I know at midnight that 2010 will end and 2011 will begin but for some reason I'm not ready to let go of 2010.
I normally am very excited for the new year to come but I'm not ready to let go of 2010. Don't know why."Everyday as your walking down the street, everybody that you met has an original point of view" -Arthur PBS

I felt that way a few days ago. Every time I have to start writing a new year in my dates, it is a reminder of the passage of time and how I could have/should have used that time more wisely. It is sad to let go and admit that time will march forward, whether you are ready or not.

2010 was an extraordinary year for me. i hope 2011 is just as good.
11% gross to retirement
10% takehome to tithe and offerings
emergency fund maintained at 3000(works for me)
credit card debt 7500
mortgage free
freedom accounts/sinking funds that ebb and flow
then live on the rest!
i am trying something new. LDS church advises savings or debt repayment should be the same as the tithe. 10% each.

I'm ready for life to SLOW DOWN. Maybe that's what you're feeling.
The years rush by so fast, now that I'm older.

I didn't think 2010 was that great so I don't care if it passes on, but I'm always a little sad when a year passes by 'cause it makes me more aware of my and my family's mortality.

I can understand how you feel. The older you get the faster time goes.
I think we work so hard to get things accomplished and it is daunting to know that we have a fresh new year to work our rears off in AGAIN! LOL!
Small goals! I think a bunch of small goals are better than one huge one.The math never lies, budget in INK!

2010 was extraordinarily horrible, I'm hoping the number change will bring better days. Just hoping.

Usually I have a hard time letting go of the year. However, this year I am so ready to move on from 2010 and hopefully have a way better year. 2010 started out well enough but quickly went down hill in April and May. Bah! I love the new possibilities for 2011.

I've always found New Year's depressing. I don't like letting things go.
