New Year 2013

Paraphrasing the lyrics of that popular John Lennon song:

What have you done
Another year over
A new one just begun
A Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

The last couple months for me were very stressful and I found myself questioning several times why I have not made the leap yet and left my current job. But that annoying little voice that speaks to me says to hold on for now. So with this in mind, 2013 finds me still struggling to cope with the many personalities and dramas that face me at the office.

2012, I must say, may have taken away my happiness at work but replaced it with happiness in my personal life. Having found someone who actually wants to spend his life with me makes me feel like the luckiest person in the world. I sometimes still find it difficult to believe and have to question my worthiness. But his reassurance in "us" helps centre me in my new reality...that I am not alone anymore!

2013 To Do List
1) I think I need to create an accomplishment/bucket list where I can list all the things I have done and the things I would like to do one day. Of course, some of those things is dependent on me winning the Lotto!
2) One of my penpals sent me a list recently...101 Random Things About Me. I think I want to do something like that too this year. Surprisingly, I had seen something similar on Seventeen.com some time ago.
3) In February 2012 edition of the O Magazine, I read about a mini-memoir idea that I also wanted to do as a scrap book...You in 6 words. Simply, you have to describe yourself in only 6 words.
4) Of course, I really want to make time and begin to sort out my postcard collection into neat folders for proper storage and viewing.
5) I need to start seriously planning my future: decide if I am always going to work for people and how will I balance work with a family.

I'm sure it's going to be an interesting year with hopefully many ups and as few downs as possible.
