New Year, New Outlook

My new years resolution is to change my outlook on life. I know I picked a hard one but its something that is needed.
2008 was rough year. We moved to somewhere we like less, my work situation is not good and we have had some real personal struggles and losses this year. All in all no fun. BUT these trials and tribulations have shaped who I am so I cant wish that they didnt happen I just have to learn from them and go on.
I will be the first to admit I have been in a funk for a while now and that I have been having a super pity party but that has got to change.
Some things I need to keep in mind...
Only I can make myself happy
Things dont happen to me, they happen because of me
Live in the now, dont worry about the past or future (read Power of now, amazing book)
Relax and follow gods plan

These are all things I need to remind myself on a daily basis =)

I am really gonna try and relax, enjoy life and move forward to all the good things waiting for me. Here is to a great 2009.

Update

Man time flies. Its already christmas. well atleast in a few days it is. I am freezing my butt off here. It was 1 degree this morning with a windchill of -17. BRRRRR. I hate this weather but what can i do but endure.
Not much exciting going on here. Things are about the same except there has been a development at work. I am meeting with the boss lady this week to discuss our hours. She has decided that I am not working enough hours. That more hours will equal more business (which it wont) so her plan is for me to work 8:30-6:30 5 days a week and maybe more hours than that. Fun fun fun. As if I dont hate this place enough already. UGH.
I guess time will tell what happens with all this. I am trying to stay positive and get motivated but it is so hard.
Here is hoping for some great holidays and a fantastic new year!!!!
