Another New Years Survey
Jan. 2nd, 2012 04:28 amIn 2011, I gained new friendships, new experiences, and a bigger appreciation for online shopping, ebates, and free shipping. A new kitty cat family member.
I lost a lot of free time due to the job I was working.
I stopped letting people walk over me (as much).
I started being more honest and assertive. I started taking better care of myself, rather than sacrificing my sanity for everyone else (see previous point).
I was hugely satisfied by my getting more involved in the Moksha Yoga community. I need and want to do even more in 2012.
And frustrated by: the job that I finally left.
I am so embarrassed that I ...
Once again, I read a lot of books. Also did not finish writing my own book. Dammit.
Once again, I did not stick to a solid workout plan, or practice yoga consistently. Finish writing a novel.
The biggest physical difference between me last December and this December is I suspect I weigh more, and my hair is a lot longer/bigger.
The biggest psychological difference between me last December and this December is I am definitely more of a "cranky old person." I couldn't care less about partying and all that stuff anymore. Give me my computer or a good book, a candy bar, a glass of Kool-Aid, and a couple cats purring close by and I'm happy.
I loved spending time with my friends. With Aidan. At Moksha.
Why did I spend even two minutes
I should have spent more time with Aidan the summer of 2011. Writing.
I regret buying a few items of clothing.
I will never regret buying my Disney Designer Princess dolls. My trips to Disney World. Gifts for everyone I love even though with that money I could have saved and saved and saved even more.
I worry and procrastinate way too much
I didn’t write or exercise enough.
The sounds of women in high heels at Target, or the sounds of ANYONE chewing, and the traffic in Chicago drove me crazy.
The most relaxing place I went was probably one of the many spas I went to for massages.
Why did I go to Old Navy so much? Oh yeah, because their clothes are cheap and cute.
The best thing I did for someone else was leave that job.
The best thing I did for myself was leave that job.
The best thing someone did for me be there for me, and be real. Support me, stand by me, take care of me. Thanks, Adam. :)
The one thing I’d like to do again, but do it better is try to write a novel. This time I'd like to SUCCEED. We'll see how THAT goes. :-\
