Most people who know me also know that I don’t make New Year’s resolutions. If I’m planning to make changes in my life, I’ll make them immediately. I don’t need a specific start date – “today” is always that date.
We got what was considered a “snow day” at work earlier this week. (In reality a water main broke outside the building and they sent everyone home). One of my co-workers who has been around for at least 10 years told me that this is the first time he could remember that they had to close for anything like that…let alone actual snow.
Sometimes I don’t think I do enough, other times I think I do too much. So I guess that makes it pretty much even then…?
My cell phone battery seems to have less and less charge on it these days. I thought the newer batteries weren’t supposed to do that.
While having beers with friends and family members the other night the talk got around to parenting and how no one is every truly prepared for the job. My boyfriend stopped the conversation and said, while pointing at me, “If you want to see an amazing mother look no further.” Of all the compliments he’s given me, that one will remain one of the most special.
It never ceases to amaze me how people can hold onto bitterness/grudges. In my opinion there’s no better waste of time or emotion, and in the end, the only people it really hurts are those bearing the grudge. I know from personal experience how liberating it can be to just let it go and move on with life.
I have been trying to write a blog about “My Ditch” – the lowest point in my life. And I honestly couldn’t think of a time in my life when I felt nothing but despair or hopelessness. So I scrapped it. I guess that means I am pretty lucky. There’s something to be said for a positive outlook on life.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the past year of blogging. I explored topics and things that I’d never thought about before. I’ve been inspired by others’ writings and I’ve met some pretty interesting and amazing people, sometimes only “cybernetically”. Here’s hoping 2011 holds much of the same.
