NYE 2011

For my last post of 2011, I want to give myself a few goals for the upcoming year even if it may be the last for the world. I did make it through one world ending day, but I don't mind partying like the world will end tomorrow. I also must say this last year has been a good one. There were moments of happiness and sadness, and I am happy that I was able to document those moments by blogging. Writing is good for the soul. Now for my world ending resolutions:

1. More Yoga and Dance! Not only are these going to help me shed the rolling holiday pounds, but they will be help me unwind. As classes become more serious and some relationships more complicated, I will need a healthy way to relieve some stress.

2. Stay Positive! When the world gets sad, I want to use the written word and a good cry to grieve. Then I need to move on to more positive thoughts that don't include retail therapy. In the words of Churchill,"When going through hell, keep going."

3. Take More Financial Responsibility! In a little over a year, I will be supporting myself. I want to use the next year to learn more about my money and what I need to support myself. I also want to look into investing in some property while the market is slow. Hopefully I could use the property to give myself an extra income in the future.

4. Keep Strong Relationships! In the last year, I built good relationships with my parents, and I kept up with the people who are meant to be in my life. I want to keep those relationships strong and improve my ability to balance my time between my responsibilities and relationships. Having a large support system of friends and family makes life the best it can be.

5. Make New Connections! Last year, I made so many new friends. All of those friends helped me to grow in some way, and I want to continue bring new people and influence into my life in this next year. I hope to continue to see myself grow and improve through the help of new relationships.

I am excited for the start of 2012. I have a feeling it will be one of the best years of my life. I also hope it is not the end of the world, but if it is, I know I will go out happy and without regret. Time to party like there is no tomorrow! Bring on 2012!
