Goodbye 2012

With these last few minutes left in 2012, I am left pondering what all I have accomplished over the year.  I had a breakdown, but discovered my limitations.
I learned that depression is an ongoing illness, not something that can be fixed like a broken leg.
I gained a new vocation in my actual field of study (project management).
I lost a lot of stress, and evidently the 25 lbs that came along with it.
I inspired others to seek new adventures, helping two friends find a happier place of employment.
Most importantly, I was blessed to spend both Thanksgiving and Christmas with both of my parents.  This is something that has not happened in many many years.  I will cherish these memories forever...with the help of JCP Studios (daddums, sissy and I took family photos).
Overall, 2012 may have had a rocky start but it certainly couldn't have had a better finish.  Or could it?

I suppose that I could have found my husband to be, but who's to say that I haven't met him (and just not know who he is exactly)?  So as 2013 approaches in less than an hour CST, I have put dating at the top of my list of resolutions for the new year. 

While most people resolve to lose weight, eat healthier, and the like, I resolve to find love this year.  This WILL be the year!  I am speaking it into action!  Even if the one love that I end up finding turns out to be myself, this resolution will be successful.  You'll get that later on if you don't understand it right now.

The rest of my resolutions include:
Begin regularly donating to a charity
Find a hobby
Finish a novel-ette (read: novella of the reading type not the Spanish type)
Gain control over my finances
Make exercise a daily habit (I'm shaking my own head on this one even as I type)
Work outside of my apartment at least one day a month (thank goodness Starbucks and Barnes & Noble have resources for this)
Call my family more often (once a month shouldn't be too much of a stretch)

I figure the year should fall into place nicely if I can stick to being an overall better me in 2013.  So that's my wish for all of you: become a better YOU in 2013!

Happy New Year!
