i make a few lists every year:
the first is a list of all the things i want to leave behind
the second is a list of all the things i learned
and the third is a list of all the things i'm hopeful for in the new year.
i've decided to leave behind viewing a situation in my life as a punishment
instead, i'm choosing to see it as getting a chance at a different life
of shaking things up
of reinventing things
and of uncovering dreams that where put away for another life.
i dream of being deserving and accepting of all the good in my life:
the perks of my job
not freaking out over finances
continued travel
enjoying my hobbies
good health
and
fun times with friends and family.
