The Very Beginning of a Great New Year!

Well, they say there's nothing new in the world.  I would have to agree with this statement.  So much has transpired this year.

Personal:  
Turned another year older.  UGH!  How come getting older involved so many aches and pains?  I started a journey of physical fitness (since the gym membership is part of my employment package and FREE).  I have fallen and hurt myself too many times in the last couple of years.  I need to be more proactive on my gracefulness.  Almost three months into this physical activity stuff and, although I haven't lost more than 15 pounds, I do feel a lot more resilient.  I hope to be down 50 pounds by summer.   Sounds like a good goal, right?


Professional:
Took a new job, lost a new job, started another job, moved real estate offices twice (actually three when you figure in that one of those jobs was at a real estate office.  WHEW!  I'm tired. Now, I won't say that I should have known better, but seriously, I should have known better.  When you go back to work for someone who you couldn't work for previously, WHAT IN THE WORLD GOES THROUGH YOUR HEAD TO MAKE YOU THINK YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN?

Did I mention that I LOVE working at the community college?  NWACC rocks!!  And the IT Department is just AWESOME! My boss is smacktabulous!!  Plus I get to take classes and increase my knowledge (there's a scary thought).

Family:
YAHOO!  I got a new daughter-in-law this year!  And the grandson turned 2!  Last child a Senior and trying to wear my patience out by enrolling in college, trying to get into ROTC and, just in general, growing up!

I really haven't set any resolutions for the year, ok, well maybe get health; maybe become full time at NWACC; get the youngest out of high school and into college.

So, here's to a new beginning in 2011.  I hope it brings better things for all of us.
