Just think of it as ending/starting the year right... with a job.

As much as I hate my current job being a recent college grad, I'm grateful I have a steady income to pay my mortgage/bills. I know others who are struggling much worse than I am, and while I feel empathy towards their situation, I am grateful I am in a position where I am not struggling too much (though this pay is well beneath what I was expecting for myself right out of college).
I won't lie, I don't want to be stuck working my "until I finish university" job for much longer, but I'm grateful I have it. Let's all hope that 2010 leads to good things for all.
