A round up for 2011 – since it’s coming so closed to the end of the year. So what have I done right or wrong for 2011 – what are my achievements for 2011. Well, I started out wanting to be a healthier me – in 2011 and started with going to the dentist – but instead of making me smile – a few hundred dollars later – I came home with a few months of pain in the exact teeth that I had a filling – that wasn’t even bugging me.
Far forward a few months – summer came – Chloe finished her Grade 1 with good results but still having trouble with standing up for herself. And this summer Chloe started playing with the neighborhood kids – and on the trampoline as well. She had a great time doing that but not without a lot of getting used to – to other kids and compromising. She went to day camp every day because she liked it a lot and had a good summer. We only went out of town twice – this year – because the store had been so busy. Work wise at the store and myself – it had been a great year. This year my regular advertisers were great to me and i had a lot more private advertisers than I did last year.
Health wise – I’m still struggling to lose weight – and stay healthy but I have to work harder next year. I also took control of my online life and gave up some games and some friends online – best moved I’ve made. I didn’t have time for the online games (fb or mahjong) – nor did I have time to take care of others (because I started taking pills for my anxiety attacks). I spent a lot more time with Chloe and helping her with doing well in school and reading especially. I also took care of the house and myself a lot more than I did when I was taking care of others. This year – Chloe did well in school and socially, I made more friends than I did in my entire life both online and offline – spent more time with friends from here – and gotten a friend to help out at the store in May and it is still working perfectly well – no stress ! thank God! This year I got more involved with the things happening around downtown and this town. This year things had to change because I had to set my priority right and I’m glad I did what I did – because some people are never happy with the good things that is happening in your life. The business tripled its sale from the previous years and we had more customers come thru’ our door more than the last few years. We also ate more often out – and going to different places to try different food around town and a little ways out of town.
This year had been a great year – despite a few unpleasant things – I count my blessings. What about you?
