Well another year has come and gone sad as it may seem. They do tend to fly by quicker after you turn eighteen. Of course the ironic part is that is when you start to treasure them more. At least it was that way for me. But that is not what we are here to discuss today. Today I take a look back at my year in 2014 and see what it was like. Tomorrow will be resolution time on the blog, and then we'll go from there.
When I started out this year I was trying once again to quit smoking though not fully resolute in doing it. I failed once more, but picked myself up and dusted myself off and said that's ok it's just not time yet. Also as I was coming into this year I was getting more involved with Southern New Hampshire University's Online Social Network called Connect. I've made a good number of friends on there though I have had trouble keeping up with there. I was also getting into some serious writing groups for the first time as well. Some worked out better than others, but that is to be expected.
I saw a nutritionist as well who got me eating better, mostly by getting a lot of the sugar out of my diet. This stabilized my weight overall and dropped it a little. And while this was going on I got closer to my Connect friends and my writing group friends as well. My grades have stayed steady at As and Bs except for that one pesky C. I also gained a lot of insight into myself as the year went on as well. Plus I grew closer to my Connect friends and my writing friends, who helped me grow not only as a student but a person as well. I have to give a shout out to Jeni, Edi, Sylvia, Amber, Ronnie, and Elle, and if I forgot anyone my apologies.
As I grew I became more confident and began taking on more responsibility and projects. Working on them diligently along with my school work. I've even started working towards rejoining the work force though that is taking a little more time than this year has to offer me. My friends have become family and I wouldn't trade it for the world. And as this year has been coming to a close I became a published author, which still blows my mind.
All in all it has been a good year but I still have bigger plans ahead for the next one, and the one after that. I'm not slowing down anytime soon though I'm 33 now. I've got a lot of years left in these bones and I'm going to enjoy them and make the best of them. I've got good company in my two families, and plenty of support. I hope your new year's celebration is a good one like I plan mine to be. And remember when making goals for next year, reach for the stars. *Tips hat and walks slowly out the door.*
