A Work in Progress

So here we are - the last days of 2008. It has been quite a year I feel like I have come a long way since this time last year.

On New Year's Day last year my friend and I were on a plane to Florida to bask in the sun for a few days. Too bad the sun didn't come out at all while we were there and I insisted on going tanning every day so I came back with a tan. During that trip I also had another pointless relationship end via telephone. But that was ok - I was starting the new year fresh and without any obnoxious guys who have smell issues (yes it was bad). So on the plane ride home I decided to write goals for 2008. Looking back now, surprisingly I did pretty well.

Throughout the year I got a new job, started my jewelry selling business, started seeing a trainer, and was inspired to start this blog which the five of you enjoy reading so much. I was trying new things like taking dance classes, learning about different wines and trying out new recipes (I think I always resort back to pesto pasta with chicken and zucchini). On top of that I had a much more positive attitude - my parents and friends noticed a difference in my outlook and when there were times that I fell down I was picking myself right back up. Sure I still dating the wrong guys and having my fair share of heartbreak and disappointment. But through it all I learned more about myself and what I was ultimately looking for in the end.

I have a brand new set of goals this year - some the same from last year, some new and exciting but the theme stays the same - trying to live my best life.

It's definitely a work in progress...

Good for you! I was looking at a sum-up I did of 2005 and was so surprised how far I've come in that time and how some things didn't change.

So you keep writing and I'll keep reading. :)
