So as I start this, there's 49 minutes left in 2011, and I'm finishing it like I have been finishing a year for as long as I can remember and that's by sitting down to myself and reflecting upon a year's past. However, unlike year's past, I don't view the upcoming year with a down point of view (not really pessimistic, maybe a bit too much on the realistic side, and not one of a optimistic point of view), however I feel that changing this upcoming year.
2011 was in many ways filled with new beginnings for me. In some ways, I didn't accomplish what I hoped to have accomplished, but like the motto of my church "moving forward together" having those goals is something that will push me forward. I finally got my license, after numerous times of having a driver's permit (but never actually having a reason to drive), which in large part this past year was due to my friends being there. Couldn't have done that on my own. I feel like friendships I had made at my church only strengthened this past year, and I look forward to what new relationships develop during the upcoming year and beyond. One of those being my relationship with Christ. The sky's the limit (well there is no limit) with that relationship. That much I know.
I happened to win quite a bit of contests in 2011, which helped me with getting some money (as I failed to get a job during the past year, even though I tried, albeit to no avail). Hopefully in 2012 I'll be able to land a job, as I need it. I'd like to be able to save up and move. I'm not really happy where I'm at, and hopefully that can change this upcoming year.
As far as resolutions go, I have a few. My first one (besides getting a job, hopefully as a tax preparer during tax season to start off with) is to lose at least 50 pounds. I can do it, as I have done it in the past, so I know the dedication and time, as well as effort that is required for it. My second resolution, and it's not a resolution exactly, but it would be nice to no longer be single for a change. If it happens, it will happen, if not, well then not. I just know that I won a necklace in a contest (a pretty nice one at that), and well I'm saving it. Saving it, because when I do find that person, or when that moment does happen, I will give it to that person. I'm not doing anything else with it.
Ah, can't forget movie going. That was fun this past year. In many ways, it was my place to escape (and in all honesty it still is). Hopefully I'll be going to the movies just as often (kind of doubt it without a job and all), and with someone other than myself for a change.
