I'm doing 25 things
I’ve actually done quite a bit of writing this year. I was inconsistant here and there but I hope to at least continue the writing I have been doing in the coming year.

How I did it
It made me
Pleased 
How I did it: I broke up with the boyfriend who was making me crazy for starters. Then it was just remembering to think and breathe. I didn't cry for a year and then when I did cry it was because my dog died, not because of some silly thing. Read how I did it…

I work as a part time librarian at the reference desk. I’m wondering if this counts as fulfilling my goal. Technically I guess it does, but my meaning behind this goal was to have a Master Degree in Library Science and to work full time. I feel like I could compromise on the “full time part” if I had the degree. Though I could probably compromise on the degree if I had a full time job.
Everyone needs to take time to relax. For a couple weeks I was in crazy mode and couldn’t even really do that. I felt like I always needed to be doing something. I guess I felt like I had already wasted so much time that it was time to try to catch up. I don’t know that I’ll ever “catch up” but I’m definately doing a lot more each day than I have in the past. I’m working on finding the balance between relaxing/destressing, and just being a lazy bum. It’s not always as easy to tell the difference as I would have thought. I’m guessing it’s because I’ve been telling myself that “I’m tired because I work and do so much” as an excuse to be lazy for so long I actually believed it. Amazing the lies you can tell yourself and believe (when you want to believe).
