The best day of the year

As I mentioned in this earlier post (which can be found here), as this year draws to a close, I like to look back at the past 12 months and pick out my best day of the year.

For 2010, my best day was a hectic one, but it had all the elements of a great day.   

It started early and ended late. I got to spend time with several different groups of people in several different locations. And, when it ended, I felt sad that it was over, but glad that it happened.

This year, my best day of the year was spent in St. Louis, MO, my hometown, which I happened to be visiting.

It was Friday, July 23rd.

In the morning I went to a video shoot with some former co-workers. It was great to see them all and be included in the event.

Then I spent some time with a close friend and mentor discussing the past and ruminating about the future.

After that, in mid-afternoon, I headed to my brother's house for a pool/birthday party for my Dad. It was my Dad's 79th birthday.

Two of my siblings and several of my nieces and nephews were there and we swam and ate until late in the evening.

It was quite a fun day. Every minute of it was great.

So, now as 2011 begins I can only hope that I have at least one day that was as good as July 23, 2010.

But truthfully, I hope that it's more than one day. I hope that at year's end I'll have a hard time deciding which day was my best day of 2011.

I hope you face the same dilemma as well.
