Everything will be fine in 2009

2008 has come and gone and I'm actually thankful that the Holidays are over. I took some time off from job #1 but ended up working WAY too much with Job #2 and #3. I need a vacation from my so called vacation. Needless to say I'm glad to be back at Job #1 as I seem to strive on some sense or normalty and routine.

I took a look at the list of resolutions/goals I made for myself last year and I am happy to say that I managed to achieve/keep up with most of them. Yah! I've been thinking more about what I want to accomplish in 2009 and so far I've come up with the following.

1. Take an actual vacation to a warm climate!!! I'm in the process of trying to book a flight to Florida for a long weekend to visit my friend Becky. It has been WAY too long since I've taken a TRUE vacation from all of my jobs let alone to a warm climate. I am O.V.E.R winter and this nasty cold weather/snow we've been having. I am a much happier Jessica when I am on a beach with a cocktail in my hand. So far, I have tenatively booked a minication to West Palm Beach March 4th- 9th. Yah!

2. Continue my success with Weight Watchers. So far I've lost 15 lbs (Way proud of the fact that I maintained over the Holidays especially since I grazed for 2 weeks straight) I don't want to set out an unrealistic goal for myself and say I want to loose 50 lbs by such and such a date. I just want to continue to loose at the rate I have been (a pound or two a week).

3. Invest into an actual Laptop. I figure it's 2009, I'm 26 going on 27 it's time I have a computer/laptop. I hate not having that access or ability at home. Luckily I can get a pretty good discount through work.

4. Along with taking care of myself I just want to take more time for myself too. Lately I've been running a million miles a minute. I juggle three jobs and in between that I try to visit family and friends. By the time for myself I usually end up sleeping and I hate knowing I'm wasting my me time sleeping. I think booking this minication to Florida will help. Even though I can't necessarily afford financially to take a trip, I emotionally can not afford not to. Sometimes you just need to bite the bullet and enjoy life in the moment.

5. Last but not least, as I said in a previous post, this next year I plan to focus more on the things that I already have vs. the things I despearately want. I want to learn to know what it is to be truly happy in life and what that all entails. I want to find pleasure and contentment in the small things and not worry so much in general.

Happy New Year!
