And A Happy New Year

At this time last year, I vowed to keep a blog about changing my negative views into positive ones. I'm proud to say that I made it all the way until the end. Sure, I was slacking a little more these last few weeks, but the positivity remained. 

As I sit here, watching the clock tick closer and closer to midnight, I am reflecting on all of the things that happened this year. So many ups and downs, but here I stand. Holding on to my positivity. And I have to say, it has certainly made quite the difference. The positivity kept me smiling through the lows and kept me dancing during the high moments. I'm so thankful for the wonderful moments I've shared with family, friends, and everyone else. Reconnecting and continuing to build relationships with the wonderful friends I have has most definitely been a most memorable moment. I can't speak highly enough of the people that have remained by my side through everything. I'm very lucky! Along the same lines, I'm proud of myself for removing the negative people from my life. Permanently. I even made it Facebook official! Deleting them off of Facebook was the symbolic deleting them from my life and made me so happy and made me aware of what I really deserve in a friend, as well as in a romantic partner. 

I'm going into the new year so much happier, and on SUCH a better path. I can't wait to see what 2017 has in store for me. I'm sure with my new positive way at looking at life, things will only continue to get better. Thank you to the people that actually read this blog regularly and followed me on this journey for an entire year. Who knows.... maybe I'll keep this up! Only time will tell!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all 2 of my readers! The year is quickly coming to a close and I am gathering my thoughts for my final post. It has been quite the roller coaster of a year, and yet I'm still focused on the positives that have transpired. 

Santa is almost here

I know it has been a few days, but it's been pretty busy around here lately. I'm busy taking care of mom, taking care of the dogs, doing Christmas baking, and getting the house ready to host Christmas for the family. I'm very much looking forward to the time with family and just hanging out together! 

Christmas Baking

Today was a lovely day filed with baking a bunch of different holiday cookies, while listening to Christmas music. Of course I took great care of mom and the dogs. I even got to sleep in a little bit today! What a treat! Now off to bed so I can do the same tomorrow!

Angry Post

Hey all. I know I haven't written in a few days. It's been crazy busy around here, taking care of mom after her surgery. I wasn't planning on writing tonight but something happened and I just have to vent my frustrations. I have been single for going on 6 months now. Yes, I have plunged myself back in the dating scene and have the crazy stories to prove it. If you haven't read my status, I suggest you do. Well, on that post, a friend of my ex commented and it really bothered me (the comment has been removed, and the person defriended). The comment was along the lines of "you shouldn't have left the one who gave you everything". I was the bigger person and chose not to respond, when in reality, I could have said a lot. I have kept quiet about what went on because I respect myself and the other person I was in the relationship with enough to keep it off Facebook. It wasn't the right fit for either of us and I will leave it at that. But for someone who wasn't IN the relationship to make that kind of comment is not just rude, it's tasteless. I would never comment on someone else's relationship when I don't know the whole story and I guarantee you, this person did not have the whole story. On another note, yes, I am still friends with people I meet while in the relationship. It's because I genuinely liked the people. I never asked anyone to take sides in the breakup and assumed we could all be adults and remain friends. I hope this stays the case. Now that I got that out, I feel much better. Thank you for listening/reading my rant of a post tonight!

Insane

What a crazy shift. I'm glad I get a 2 week break starting now. By the ebbs of these 2 weeks I will be dying to go back to the craziness! In so thankful to have been working with some amazing people tonight. I owe my sanity to them and they know who they are. Of course I can't get to sleep, knowing I need to be awake in a few hours to take mom for her surgery. Let the tossing and turning begin. 

Sundays are for napping

I had a lovely girls weekend! First was White Christmas, and then yesterday started an overnight with the bestie. First we got our nails done, had lunch, and then made our way up to the casino where we lost our money and spent the night! It was great spending quality time together and just getting away from the stresses of life!
