Rating 2009.

Home, Bricks and Mortar
It has been the year of change; not much of makeovers but more on cultivating a homey feel -the result is more than cosiness and there will be more to come in 2010.
Score = 4.5/10

Work, Career and Finance
Much uncertainty hung over in '09 and will continue well into '10. This is the time when I need a crystal ball to guide me in a direction. Or tell me I’m just a dreamer.
Score = 5.8/10

I’m ever so grateful for having my mother. Our relationship is improving.

Love, Relationships and Star Signs
There are times when you sunbathe and let the sun warm your soul. Other times you don your gloves, winter coat and long boots, and kick fate in the arse.
Score = 6.8/10

General well-being and feel good factor.
Like swings of the pendulum, they never stay still at one point.
Score = 7.5/10

Friendships and True Colours
A mixed bag emerged in '09. A best friend was exx-ed. A strong friendship shone all year like a bauble at Christmas time. A long-term friendship was rekindled, with equal gusto and enthusiasm from both sides. A beautiful friendship developed and strengthened like the blues of the ocean under sunny skies. One special friendship that I’ve always wanted to keep as a constant has somewhat changed; not for the better or for the worse, just changed.
Score = 6.7/10

Writing
Continuing with this blog after all these years, and another private project that will soon come to fruition, my Muse has kept me busy and inspired.
Score = 9/10

Highlights, Surprises and Disappointments
Two holiday plans didn’t eventuate. It was a year of lull mostly, but it was punctuated by an unexpected visit from distant friends whom I love so dearly.
Score = 5/10

Blogging
Deserves its own score, for having taking me on a full rollercoaster ride and back again to build my own track, one post at a time. Despite some disappointments and not-so-good changes to the medium, endurance is the word.
Score = 5/10
