2011

My friend Christine and I go for brunch after NYE and discuss what our plans are for the up coming year. Not really goals, but what we would like to accomplish, try and challenge ourselves with. Last year was the year of the Tiger, and we're both Tigers. Last year for us both was all about finding balance in our lives. Finding honesty within ourselves and how to hold on to that. I think we both succeeded and I feel very proud of us.

This year we both agreed: adventure, being the best we can be, try new things, get the financial house in order and be happy. Well I am happy to report that so far, we're on the right track!

I've read lots all over that you need to surround yourself with people that bring or have qualities that you too desire or admire. I thought lots about this and I'm really lucky to have the people that I do have in my life, in my life! I really don't think I have anyone that I brings a negative influence on me, and for that I'm thankful. No drama. I hate drama. I never really had a lot of girlfriends in high school because of the all the drama that came with them. I was never one to have a lot of friends. I find friends to be exhausting sometimes and now, being 36 I think I've done an excellent job at having the friends that I do. They are all special to me in their own ways, providing me with different qualities that I like and admire.

So as I sit here sipping my gin martini watching What Not To Wear secretly wondering if my peeps think I would make a good candidate, which I probably would, I feel lucky. Very lucky.
