Hello 2012!

I usually do not wait until January 1st to start my resolutions. Why wait for a certain day if you can start now? But for some reason, I decided to do the New Year's Resolution thing this year. Or rather, I've decided to go with a theme for the year.

This is the year that I take my life back.

The past three or so years have been one stupid episode after another.

No more.

Now, it's about doing what's right for me regardless of the opinions of people who have little to no importance to my life.

I'm starting with my job. The environment I work in on a daily basis is no longer in line with how I want to live my life. It's extremely mean-spirited and I had allowed myself to fall into it. Now, I'm exploring other places of employment. It's no longer worth my while to remain in a job that is eroding all of my positive qualities.

From there, I'm going back to school. Major in something interesting like philosophy. My daughter thinks that I should be a writing major. We'll see.

I've also returned to my diet of healthy, fresh food. I had been doing alot of stress eating and gained weight as a result. I only have a few pounds to lose but still, I'm annoyed with myself for allowing this to happen.

Anyway this is the just the beginning so stay tuned...
