2011 is coming to a close...all too quickly. It amazes me that the older I get, the faster time passes. I tried to explain this to the kids, but ... oh well.
Every New Year's Eve, I make the same resolution: To improve my mind, my body and my spirit. Let's review.
I studied and passed my LICSW exam. I have such terrible test anxiety and this was a huge hurdle for me emotionally. This has allowed me to really put my career into a new perspective. I changed my understanding of what my job meant to me and as a result, was able to change my attitude and approach, which led to greater trust and involvement from my boss. I started a private practice and have been working diligently to get through all of the insurance boards so that I can build something by me, for me, that will eventually sustain me.
I met a great guy. Joe has become an integral part of our family. The children are extremely attached to him and he to them. He has been a good and reasonable sounding board when I need to think through the tough parenting moments. A true partner. I am very thankful for him.
I have been fortunate enough to have really amazing friends that have gotten me through the tough, funny, sad, ridiculous.
I committed to run a marathon...and raise a ton of cash for charity. This wacky idea has put me back into the gym and my muscles are developing and I feel stronger. It has been a good message for the children and we talk about giving back. I have already raised the minimum amount required and still have more than three months to go. I can see the good in people...people I have never met that are donating to this.
So...long story short. This year, I met my resolution! I did it! Tomorrow night I will make my resolution for 2012: To improve my mind, my body and my spirit. Let's hope that 2012 ends as great as 2011.
