I actually have spent a fair bit of time thinking over the past decade. It was a big one for me, and on the whole a very good one. It’s funny, because I wouldn’t have said that as it was happening, but as I look back I am struck by how happy I would have been to know that this is where I would end up in 10 years.

I did do something of a chicken. Sort of. It looks back over 10 years and then forward to the next 10. You can find it here: http://www.strocel.com/the-next-10-years/

And Happy New Year, you fabulous Soul-Sleuther!

Dude, when you think about a whole *decade*, you can feel some serious accomplishment!

loved reading your giant decade chicken. loved that you wrote fuckton.

some of my 2000’s highlights include: travels to Greece and Hawaii, picking myself up after hitting the deck hard, finding the love of my life and marrying him, starting my business, and buying our first home.

I’m sorry I was the cause of any terror! And thank you for your kind words about my photography.

I think you said what I didn’t say in my post. You filled in the gaps and the spaces. I completely relate to the two-steps-forward/one-step-back thing. I spent a LOT of the decade doing that. I think I spend too much time thinking about the steps back and am hoping to focus more attention on the steps forward. After all, this is how we learn about ourselves – our likes and dislikes – and figure out what works.

Any you’re right, it is a process. It seems to me (having also experienced my first decade as a grown-up) that the older I get, the less I know. I’m just starting to accept that.

Off topic – I’m glad to have connected with you at the very end of 2009. I’m looking forward to getting to know you better in 2010!
