On Wednesday evening at 11:59 I won’t be sad to see 2008 become part of history. To say the least, it was a tough year for me. I spent my first entire calendar year as a graduate student while working a full time job. It wasn’t easy but it was a learning experience (no pun intended). I started a new job in June and worked long hours in the office all summer. As the year went on I learned that I was really struggling to stay sane and happy. So, in 2009 I am making a promise to put myself first more often.
I pledge to not beat myself up if I only make it to the gym twice in a week. I pledge to sleep in on Sundays when I have no where to be. And, I pledge to bake once a month, for someone or some reason. I think that’s a good list to start. To kick off my year about me, I’m going to an excellent scrapbooking retreat that is held annually in CT, about 45 minutes from my parents. It is 48 hours of creativity, fun, and a whole lot of estrogen. I went two years ago and had a wonderful time, so I’m using my Chanukah money to go again this year. I will FINALLY be able to start my wedding album. Woohoo!
