Only looking forward, No looking back

The past 10 years have made me who I am, the good and the bad, but as I think about some of them I have realized that I would perfer to look towards the next 10.

As Liz put beautifully there are people that have passed that I miss more than life. There are really bad times that I never want to repeat and there are great times that I hope I got on camera. There are friends that I wish I still had and ones that I am glad have been there for life. There are new ones that I dont think know what they have gotten into by hanging out with me (no one tell) and an amazing boyfriend I have now that I cant imagine my life without. I have a family that drives me nuts in the best ways and a future that I look forward to.

Without the past 10 years I dont think I would be able to survive what might come in the next 10. Where will I be tomorrow, I dont know. I do know that i am going to try and be the best person I can be for me, my friends, my family and my boyfriend. I am going to work very hard to reach my goals in life and I am proud of myself for where I am now.

I do hope that when people reflect on their lives that they also look at what the World has gone through, what their community has gone through and maybe look at what in the future they can do to make it better. I hope that the world becomes selfless instead of more selfish and people realize that it is not just about them. You help your neighbor and your neighbor will help you.

I hope gay marriage will become legal in all 50 states and that our economy will grow strong.

End of a Decade

Wow. That's all I can say when I realize that 10 years has gone by so fast and so much has happened in my life. A lot of good, some bad, many struggles, many jobs, new friends gained, some dear friends passed on, and old friends lost, moving from new place to new place, engagement, wedding, school, more school, and once again more school.

Ups and Downs, anger and loneliness. I've felt every emotion this passed decade. Some I wish I could forget, but then without those bad feelings...how do we know what the good ones are!

I've had about 10 different jobs! from Food service to lifeguarding, to more food ser

vice, to sitting behind a desk, to more food service. (I'm starting to see a trend lol). It's been crazy, but I've gotten thru, moving out of my parents house, which was easy for me, probably not as easy for my mom, since I'm her only child. My family dog had to be put down, but when Paul and I bought the condo we gained a new member into our family! Little Ein!

I can't say I have no idea what's in store for 2010, cuz I know I'll be graduating from LVN Nursing school in August, and I know I'll be getting a newer car sometime within the year, MAYBE they'll be bigger talks of having children this year, and I'm pretty sure I'll be getting a new job.....Sorry Bob's Big Boy, you're just not cutting it!

But as for the next decade...I have no idea what's in store, ha ha ha! I'm sure there will be a child, perhaps even children of mine, I'm sure another move will happen, maybe an addition of another pet, whether it's a dog or cat I don't know. New places to go, new trips to take, maybe we'll finally get to go on a Honeymoon! I hate to even bring it up, but I'm sadly sure there will be some deaths within this decade, that I know no one will be looking forward to.

Who knows what the earth will be like in another 10 years, maybe we'll have our first woman president...but dear God, not Palin or Clinton...ugh. (Oprah?!?!) lol

Will we ever get our flying cars? Or our personal robot assistants? Will the economy be better? Will war/ terrorism end in the Middle East? Will we ever bring home our troops to their families? Will Obama fix...anything?! Will Gay marriage prevail? What jobs will be available? Will there still be good things and good people 10 years from now? or will an apocalypse happen?

I just know that I want to spend it with good people, good family, and esp. my husband. I love him this year and I'll love him next year, and the year after that, until I no longer breathe.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!
