As I look back I am seeing ups and downs all of which are unexpected. The ups and downs have not been unexpected but the outcome is.- I made goals for 2010 and have met them early....unexpected
- That I stuck with something for a whole year....unexpected.
- I got a job promoting nuun, which I love and all because of this blog.... unexpected.
- Being an actual nuun sponsored athlete....unexpected.
- People like to read my blog that I vowed to write on at least once a week...unexpected.
- That Jaymon and I would be where we are in our relationship...unexpected. (hoped for, but dubious about)
- seeing direct positive results of the personal growth I have tried so long to make...unexpected
- I am a Hotz now......unexpected.
- That I would have so many friends that are reasonable, down to earth, like minded people....Unexpected. Most are virtual but friends none the less and people that I would like to meet someday. I have never had friends the way I do now. Reconnecting with old friends and finding that they too have grown up....unexpected.
- That I would finish the Des Moines marathon barefoot and finish strong and not crawling.....unexpected
- That Jupiter would be in a great school and in an intensive ABA programming and doing well.....unexpected
I am inclined to say it was a year that would be described by a positive word and not just a curious one however it doesn't fit all of them. The positive that has come about has certainly come at a price but I have just done well at going with the flow and had help from my love when I was paying the price or when the going gots rough.
That I am fairly mellow these days and yet full of sass and as of today feel balanced.....unexpected. Maybe because I ran 10 miles today and felt pretty good but maybe its because I am balancing life well.......unexpected.

Hi there!
Yeah, and Yeah to both kovas and Leah! Both rockin' peeps!;-)
and love your reflections...;-)
I just saw that you are from Des Moines. I grew up in Omaha, NE so we were "neighbors"!
Congrats to Kovas and Leah
I love that about life...some of the best things that come from it are unexpected or unplanned for. Sounds like you've had a good year! 2010 has been filled with a lot of challenges that I've never faced before...my first running injury that kept me from running a marathon I trained SO hard for, adjusting to being a stay at home mom and giving up my job, feeling lost and unplugged in, etc. So my word would be "challenging" if I had to choose one. but I love how my challenges have all led to better and more wonderful things in my life! They have helped me grow and start new things (like my blog) that I would never have seen myself doing...unexpected things. :)
Love this. One word huh, I'll have to think on that. The first word that comes to mind is control, but I'll think and post Saturday. I love the "unexpected" post.
I think you were Hotz before, but that's just me. As a wise man once said, Expect the unexpected.
Good post. One word 2010 - bittersweet.
sometimes the unexpected things are the best. my one word 2010 - satisfying
Unexpected but all good!
I love that things in life, in general, is unexpected.
I love that all of your unexpected things turned out to be for the best. And balanced is a good place to be. One word is almost as hard as six!
I think "unexpected" about sums it up... :)
Yay! Thank you so much. And congratulations on such an unexpected and successful year!
