I've got to be honest: 2012 wasn't
exactly the best year of my life.
This year, though, is going to be
awesome. I can feel it.
There were some things I couldn't
control, tragedies that I will always remember and continue to break
my heart, although a little bit less every day.
My brother was in a horrific accident
involving him somehow getting shot in the head and surviving like a
champion. Emergency brain surgery and a couple of titanium plates
later, and he is strong enough to kayack and registered for classes
in the fall. Seeing the scar that grazes his temple makes me want to
cry every time he turns his head.
As for me, well, I'm in the same place
I've been in for two years.
My whole life, I've been focused on the
future. When I was a kid I couldn't wait to be a teenager. In high
school, all I wanted was to get into college. In college I couldn't
wait for my first real job.
It seems like now, everything has
ground to a halt. I've been working the same job for almost three
years, and it has nothing to do with my education. It doesn't
challenge me (well, except when I have to keep my temper around
particularily rude or aggressive customers).
I want to find something to look
forwards to again. This sounds like a downer, but I swear its not!
I'm excited to challenge myself this year.
I'd like a better job, to write more,
and to do more yoga.
Those are my New Year's resolutions.
What are yours?
