Today in browsing my favorite blogs I came across a really good article from a professional career coach. Today , as the end of 2009 she encourages everyone to list their 3 top 10 lists.
These lists are as follows:
- Top 10 professional accomplishments of 2009
- Top 10 personal accomplishments of 2009
- Top 10 happiness inducing activities (yes this can be a random free flowing list!)
I really liked the concept so I tried the excercise. Which I have to say- the professional accomplishments I didn't even make 10 of them this year. Largely due to the face that I have been out of work for the majority of the year. But the rest were really fun to do.
So I am passing this idea along to you. If you like make your own lists and post/repost as you see fit.
As for me- my results are under the cut.
Happy New Year Everyone

Top 10 personal accomplishments. .
Becoming closer to Erica. It's not perfect, but it is wonderful all the same.
Becoming engaged to and marrying my best friend.
Going to the gym more this year than I have in years past- and more consistently
Loosing 17 lbs, and 7 inches before our wedding- and the wonderful feeling of having to have the dress taken in twice!
Reconnecting with Mic & Brian- I missed them
Spending more time with Bernie & Becky this year.
Getting to know new people- Jesci, Jenn, and Kym- they have reminded me that good, funny people still do exist- and I love hanging out with them.
Learning that I really do need to slow down, take a breath and think.
Learning to admit I was wrong - whether in public or in private- and to take the defeat gracefully
Curbing my tongue and temper under extreme circumstances.
Top 10 happiness-inducing activities..
Read more books this year than EVER- and loved/ reveled in every page & minute of it!
Having my wedding dress @ my first fitting (when I shimmied in it a little to illustrate that it was loose) fall from my chest to almost my waist - it was that loose!
Summer Rock Band Sessions @ Fraps with the crew- good times had by all.
Getting to know and become friends with Jesci.
Bringing Frisky to Jesci's school rooms and teaching little kids about bunnies- how they behave, what they like to eat, how they play.
Watching Jesci's classrooms pet Frisky- Frisky loved it and the kids were just in awe to have a live rabbit in the room, and love the fact that she was cute/ soft.
Just being with Scott more - yeah I know uber sappy- but I like having more time with him. I like knowing that a little thing- like making fresh pasta sauce one night, can make him smile after a long day.
Getting to see a lot of Erica this year due to wedding activities. I loved it and laughed a hell of a lot thanks to her!
Traveling - did a lot due to wedding prep but also traveled a lot personally this year: Virginia/Washington DC, Wellfleet MA, Saratoga NY, Brooklyn NY, NYC Shopping trips, and Oquiquit ME.
Officially being a MRS..... no that's not true. Being officially SCOTT's MRS!!!!!! That was a HUGE spike in the happiness factor!
