All Entries: What I Learned From 2009
A very merry Christmas and a happy new year to y’all!
Welcome to the final post here at Middle Zone Musings for the year 2009 – and what a year it was, I’ll tell ya! Thrills, chills, spills – and that was just at my house! Heaven only knows what happened at yours!
And hey, who knows what amazing things are in store for us next year?
I want to thank all the wonderful folks who have participated, commented, or simply dropped by the Middle Zone this year. A big ol’ tip o’ the hat to ya, and thank you from the bottom of my ol’ Texas heart!
Well, here’s the final results from this year’s annual What I Learned From 2009 groupwrite project. We had only 14 entries this time, admittedly a far cry from the 138 entries y’all contributed in last year’s Blogapalooza. But that’s just okey-dokey with me; I’m just honored y’all chose to squeak some time out of your holidays to participate. Really!
I asked y’all to write a post at your own blogs, listing your best, or favorite, or most outrageous (or whatever) posts of the year 2009, then send me the link to your round-up post. So here’s the list of entries, in no particular order. Do yourself a favor and check ‘em all out, y’all; there’s some great writers here:

And of course, there’s my own entry. It was a mite harder than usual selection the criteria for this WILF. But after much anguished soul-searching, I hit upon this gem of a topic: My “least linked to” posts of 2009 My Most Profound Lessons Learned from 2009:
- A Prolific Profusion of Profound Profundity. Or Something. by Robert Hruzek at Middle Zone

Middle Zone Musings is a comfortable place to stop, have a cup of coffee, swap a few stories and share practical ideas for the real world. I don't ask for much, just a bit of your brain every now and then. Have a seat, take a load off, and relax...
Hi Robert, Looks like another great collection of posts – thank you so much for hosting all of these projects throughout the year. I can’t tell you how many fabulous bloggers I’ve gotten to know as a result. Happy New Year!
Thanks, Robert, for making us work so hard to come up with our favorite post from each month. The folks who participated last year who didn’t this year probably remember how hard it was to do.
But it was a worthwhile exercise to remember what we’ve done during the year, and this year’s list is manageable enough to actually read the entries.
Thanks for a wonderful year at MZM and WILF and wishes for a fantastic 2010.
@Brad – Thanks and a tip o’ the hat for bein’ a faithful participant, too!
@Lillie – If they don’t remember, I sure do! I’m glad you’ve been a part of it, too, Lillie – a tip o’ the hat to you, too!
Hi Robert, great roundup! Next year, I resolve to complete my entries on time and finally be in sync with the calendar! It has been an awesome year of WILF and Musings. I am so thankful I was here to be part of it. Wishing you much more in 2010. Happy New Year Robert!
Robert, as always… thanks for giving me something to blog about… now I wonder if I should go through almost 10 years’ worth of posts to pick out the best from a decade of blogging? Ack! That would take too long. Happy New Year everyone!
@Karen – Ah, those pesky resolutions. Hey, I’m glad you were such a great and active part of the Zone, too! A big ol’ tip o’ the hat, my friend!
@Meryl – Best of a decade? Wow, that might make a great book, actually. But I agree it’d be a chore. I’ve only got 3-1/2 years and the prospect terrifies me!
Robert, thanks again for this yearly WILF! It’s a great way to remember posts we’ve loved and to discover new ones. Speaking of resolutions, I will try to take part in more WILFs next year! I sure hope I won’t go back to being inspired, having a great idea for a post, and then missing the deadline
Hugs and a happy, happy new year,
Alina
@Alina – I so glad you joined us for at least some of them, Alina. You’re a part of the Middle Zone now!
awesome as always ….you’re are a great host!!
@Karen – Thanks, Karen!
I missed it? Damn….
Thought this was going to happen in January, like last year’s Blogapalooza.
@Mike (Matches) – No, I decided not to repeat Blogapalooza this year. Next WILF is in February, though, so start gearin’ up now!
