"Hello New Beginnings!!!"

Since were already done with the first week of the new year, it only seemed fitting to sit down & compose a letter to properly introduce myself to my new friend, 2009. I have an overwhelming feeling this year will be full of pure positivity and I can't wait to see what my new companion has in store for me. I felt if I provided you with a brief background on what goals I've set forth for myself, it will help guide us down the right path while on this journey together.

I have declared this year as a NO STRESS year. Anyone who knows me knows I tend to take the weight of the world and rest it on my shoulder. I will admit I have....No, HAD a problem with worrying over everything, trying to do everything all at once, just all out madness!! 2009, we can not live life in that state anymore. Life is way to short and precious to sit and fret over things so minuscule. What will be, will be and I will let things work themselves out. Any form of negativity will not be allowed within 1000ft of my new found aura!! I've worked VERY hard over these last few months to walk the path I'm walking and I'll be damned if I allow anything or anyone to bring me down.

I'm currently in the process of listing professional goals I would like to accomplish during this year at my company and I have to admit I've allowed the negative issues within my department to deter me from accomplishing my outlined goals. This will not be the case this year. I've worked to hard to achieve the position I'm in and I will continue to work my hardest to reach the level I DESERVE to be in. I've already seen a change in my work habits and in my interaction with my co-workers and I have to say I'm damn proud of myself.

I've also decided to make this year the year I become financially relieved!! I've decided to pay off all my credit card debit over the next few months and rid myself of this unnecessary burden. It took a special someone to verbally bitch slap me into reality and show me how great I will feel taking care of all in one shot and keeping every hard earned penny for myself once real bills like rent and utilities are squared away and you know what, I've created a mock budget once all is clear and shit, he's absolutley right, LOL, LOL.

2009, we need to really focus on making ME time for myself this year. No moreputting others first and much, much more putting ME first!! If a mental break from the real world is needed, I'm just taking it. No more of the usual, "if I'm not at work this may not be completed, why am I laying here when I could be doing laundry, I should keep mini me home instead of sending him off for the weekend" kind of thinking. Basically I just WON'T be thinking when it comes to the matter of ME, just DOING.


Procrastination, something I can do damn well, will no longer play a factor in completing my Master's. Even though I love my current job, I feel....Noooooo, I know I could be doing much, much more with my life professionally so I will resume working on my Masters in Business Administration minoring in Human Resource Management!!!


Well 2009, this is my rundown. I know we can handle whatever comes our way so I'm not even stressed. My support system is beyond phenemonal and with them, I can damn near accomplish anything I set my mind to!!



Sincerly Yours,


Adina
