I'm doing 43 things
One might say that I completed this goal. I am seeing the importance of putting my needs ahead of others. I am so much more mentally healthy than I was a year ago. I am always going to be a people pleaser- that is inbred in me! But I am more secure about myself. Maybe it was a good thing that FORMER friends screwed me over. They are no longer in my life and I have more energy to concentrate on me. Just becuz I am more selfish doesn’t mean I am less nice and less considerate I just am more considerate of myself. I’m keeping this goal as a reminder to myself that I have to be true and kind to myself before I can trully give to others.

What a difference a year makes! I am sooooooo much happier this year. I quit a job that I really disliked- Christmas was a big part of being an activity director. Christmas was a major pain in the ass!!! This year, I am a full time college student this year. I am working my tail off to earn extra cash during the season but I’m taking it all in stride. Christmas 08 is really just another day- I work that evening. My family will be scattered at inlaws across the midwest. Thanksgiving(my favorite holiday was big deal this year). Christmas is not pissing me off which is a major relief. I think next Christmas (big deal year) will be a banner year with the completion of most college courses and the family together. I am content with Christmas this year and feel that I will probably have the spirit in 09.
Well I met Bush Sr. after he was president, and I shook hands with Barack Obama before he was president. I guess I just wanna meet a current president! I’m so glad George W is almost gone!!
