Wouldn’t you like to expose your newer readers to some of you earlier posts that they might never have seen? Or remind your long term followers of posts that they might not remember?
Each Friday I will publish a post I wrote on this exact date in a previous year.
How about you? Why don’t you reach back into your own archives and highlight a post that you wrote on this very date in a previous year? You can repost your Friday Flashback post on your blog and pingback to this post. Or you can just write a comment below with a link to the post you selected.
If you’ve been blogging for less than a year, go ahead and choose a post that you previously published on this day (the 27th) of any month within the past year and link to that post in a comment.
This was originally posted on December 27, 2009 — exactly one decade ago on my old blog. I honestly don’t remember why 2009 was such a bad year for me, but I do remember that 2010 was, indeed, a much better one.
It’s About Friggin’ Time!
I am so glad that this year has finally come to an end. What a lousy, awful, miserable year it was. I can’t think of very many really good things that happened in 2009. Yes, I managed to stay alive for another full year, but beyond that there just aren’t many remembrances of 2009 that I can reflect back on fondly. In fact, when it comes to 2009, most memories make me wince.
And so it is with open arms and some high expectations that I welcome 2010 as I say a not-so-fond farewell to 2009. I am bound and determined that 2010 will be a much better year than 2009 was, and that just over 365 days from now, I will be able to look back on the year and say, “Thank you, 2010. I’m sorry to see you go.”
This, That, and the Other 
And was it?

What’s interesting is that the cliche about time healing really is true. You don’t even remember what had you so upset! Last night I was on LinkedIn and they (yet again) suggested a particular ex to connect with. It used to upset me terribly to see his picture. Now? Nothing. 🙂

I can’t remember what happened yesterday, much less a decade ago!

2009 was not a good year for me either

I’m willing to bet that 2009 is remembered as a walk in the park compared with 2019!
I’m going to break your rule and put up last week’s post because the person I described is so extraordinary. He’s led me to a big attitudinal shift, and a number of readers have thanked me for introducing me to him.
All good wishes to you with your imminent surgery.

You’re welcome. I’ll be recuperating around the same time from a procedure my derm thinks is important to reduce the sprouting of any more carcinomas on my face. So I’ll be saying hello to the New Year/decade with ice packs and lovely rashes, etc. And, inspired by my late friend Peter, I plan to look in the mirror and laugh, appreciating how fortunate I am. Hope you’ll be listening to your favorite music and marveling how much better it sounds with your newly restored personal stereo sound!

Thanks. I hope so too. Good luck with your ice packs and rashes! See you next year!

One mo’ thing: Since I know you depend on the WP Reader rather than email, and the Happiness Engineers for reasons unknown to me did not include the post I put up this morning, here’s the link.

I can’t say the same about 2010. That was the year my father died. This video (with new commentary) is what I posted on this date in that year.
