Out With the Old and In With the New!

 

With 2009 just a day away I wanted to take the time to say that i’ve learned a lot in 2008.   I won’t go into detail but here’s a short list of what i learned/realized in 2008:

 

1.) As much as you want to make people do what they are supposed to you can’t.  Either they do it or they don’t.

2.) Good men do exist.

3.) Real friends are always there.  Fickle ass people irk my nerves and don’t deserve my friendship.

4.) I can’t be everything to everybody.

5.) You can’t help everybody.

6.) I learned to do more of what makes me happy.

7.) I learned that I have to take time for myself.

8.) I found someone who makes me smile.

9.) I realized that I’ve got work to do and plan on doing it in 2009!

10.) I realized that I had a lot to say and people may actually want to hear it…so i created  Yum Yum Kisses! and Love Lies and Music!

 

I’m looking forward to 2009.  I have so many things I want to accomplish.  I plan on making a career change.  Maybe love will find me in 2009.  I plan on taking new risks.  I plan on taking care of me first and doing what makes me happy.

To all my friends and family…it’s been fun, frustrating, hard, damn near impossible at times but for the most part we made it!  I’ve had memorable good times this year. 

To my readers…i appreciate you.  I don’t know what i’d be talking about if you guys didn’t leave your comments.  You continue to show me that you’re interested in what I write about and that keeps me going. I’ve had so many laughs reading your comments and going back and forth with you all!  Let’s keep it up in 2009!

To the person that makes me smile…I don’t know how my year would’ve turned out had I not known you.  When we met I thought my life was going well.  But shortly after meeting I went through all types of hell and you were there for me through it all.  Never passing judgement only offering advice.  I can’t thank you enough.  I don’t know if I can ever truly show you or tell you how much you mean to me but I will say that you’ll always have my friendship…no matter what.  You know how to brighten up my day.  You can make me laugh even when i’m on the verge of tears.  You motivate me and keep me striving to do better.  I can’t imagine 2009 without you in it.  You make me smile inside and out.  Thanks for being a special kind of friend. 

Now what about you?  What have you learned in 2008 and what are your plans for 2009?
