Well... Hello 2009!

I've been meaning to posted these one for a couple of days now...

Hello 2009!

I am so glad to see 2009 here!

2008 was a rollercoaster of a year. 2008 brought a shit storm and heartache. But it also brought happiness and bliss! I survived betrayal and found courage and strength. I discovered grace and dignity that I did not know that I possessed. I found that I have a little steel in my spine.

2008 brought me closer to my family. I grew closer to friends, rekindled old friendships, and found new friendships.

I have had my days of depression. And I have had my rowdy, loud, crazy nights. I’ve had nights that turned into mornings and friends that turned into family.

I had my heart broken in the beginning of the year. And towards the end of the year, I found out that I still had a heart and it was capable of letting love in. Even though the latter was short lived, I am thankful in knowing that I am not damaged goods.

In this crazy, wonderful, amazing year that just passed, I discover who I really am. I found myself. I was knocked down. I was once told… “It’s not how you fall, it’s how you get up.” I decided to get up with grace and dignity. In finding out the woman that I am, I also found out the kind of woman that I want to be. I have discovered that I am worth it. And I am not going to waste the pretty. I am better than I have ever been. And it can only get better!

So I cannot wait to see what 2009 will bring to me! I can only get better and things can only look up.

So here is a list of a few things that I am going to do…
I’m going to apply for graduate school.
Hopefully, I will start grad school.
I’m going to get new ear piercing.
I’m going to get at least one of my tattoos.
I’m going to run the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 5K.
I’m going to be “greener”.
I’m going to read more books.
I’m going to continue to pamper and spoil myself because I know that I am worth it.
I’m going to continue to go to all the concerts that I can.
I’m going to blog more.I’m going to continue to make lists.
