2009 will be here
before you know it.
 Well,
as this crazy year of 2008 comes to a close, I like to go over
the highlights if this year for me. First, I made a big move
living in a new town and a new way of life compared to Chicago.
I don’t think I will ever regret the move financially, but
spiritually, I felt little homesick very quickly. And with the
crazy gas prices over the summer, I couldn’t travel as much
as I wanted to. When I finally got my son ready for pre-school, I
felt that it was time for me to do the same. One of the best
decisions I made this year. It feels good to expand my
boundaries, and start taking this to the next level, since I’m
such a techy person.
What’s
next?
So, what do have planned for 2009? Well, of
course you have the weight loss thing to consider, and I’m
preparing for that as we speak. I didn’t overdo it this
holiday season, but this summer was the worst for me. I don’t
know why I gained more over the summer than winter. I can only
say that it could have been stress. Let’s see if this
“Time for Change” theme song will play for awhile as
a #1 hit!
