2009

Well we made it.  It’s 2009 and I can barely believe it.  This time last year I was working at Victoria’s Secret and loving it, I might add. Those of you who know me are probably thinking “Yeah right, that’s why you complained so much.”, but in my defense, I did like the job, I just didn’t like the pay.  Anyhow, I was about to quit that job and my own business to start at the job I’m currently in.  Well, same company, different position.  This year, I’m starting out in a new department and I absolutely love the actual job.  It’s fun, challenging, just scary enough to be exciting and I’m learning so much.  My favorite part though is that I’m actually finding that the last 14 years of being in the full time work force has really paid off.  I’ve learned so much that helps me everyday.  That is such a rewarding feeling and one that I’m so grateful for.

I’m also coming up on a birthday again.  This time my 30th.  Last year I was heading into my final year in my twenties and I was freaked out, to say the least.  This year, I’m actually kind of excited.  I’m not sure how I’ll feel the first time I say out loud, “I’m thirty”, but I’ll get there with baby steps and try my best to be graceful about it if it does hurt a little.  Or a lot.

This is also the year of de-cluttering and re-organizing our home and lives.  I have been on a kick for about 2 years now on how to be intentional and take control of how I move through my day to day efforts.  I’ve done some searching, learning and trying and have come up with a philosophy that I think will serve me well.  It seems to match the philosophy my husband has lived for a while and has been trying to get me in line with, but my stubbornness has prevented that.  Besides, thereis something to be said for finding your way on your own.  The last few years have been tough and at times, they just plain sucked, but I know now that something useful and good will come out of it.

So, that being said, I have to go because the tile guy is almost done and I want to go admire the clean floor.

Happy New Year everyone!
