029.

Welcome, 2009.

When I think back on 2008 I have mixed emotions. I lost my job and have had a terrible time finding a new one. I quit university again. I spent most of the year flat out broke. I racked up debt. I had a huge fight with a friend and still have no contact with her.

But on the other hand, Finn moved in with me. I ran a 12 week workshop on panic and anxiety where I stood for two hours once a week in front of 30 people and taught them how not to give up on themselves. (Who ever thought I'd be able to do that? Certainly not me, until I did it!) I expanded my view on how the universe works through yoga and reading. I spent the summer honing my creativity. I got engaged.

So 2008 had a lot of really low moments, but it had some highs as well. I have a great aunt Lily who always reads our tea leaves for the new year and she has been saying since the time I was little that odd years turn out better than even. For the most part (in my life, anyway) she's been right. So my resolutions for 2009 are pretty simple -
- find something to laugh about every day
- compliment people (even strangers) freely
- do the best I can every day
- take a photography class
and my last resolution is to be sure not to become a bridezilla. :D

Those sound like really great resolutions. I'm glad that you're going to take a photography class; you have amazing talent. I'm looking forward to hearing about your day to day experiences this year.
