It's that time of year - for reflecting and resolving - and, naturally... blogging about it.
2009 was not awesome. Not a terribly awful year, nor my worst ever. It was, however, a year full of challenges - all of which have been opportunities for growth. 2009, though, [got off to a rough start](http://twitter.com/walkah/status/1098018094) and didn't end much better. As much as I've grown, I'm definitely looking forward to moving forward.
I don't know if I have resolutions this year, per se. I do have two words that have been on my mind a *lot* lately:
**CREATE** I am eager and excited to do more, to *make* more. I would like to write more, build more tech and (dare I say it?) write some music. I want to look back next year when doing this blog post and be able to see all the things I've created - good and bad. I'd like to have fewer ideas left swimming in my head otherwise untouched.
**OPEN** I've long been an advocate, user and developer of open source software. In part, it's a renewed passion for free and open technologies. Beyond that, however, continuing to move towards openness in my life, my heart and in my relationships.
