Looking both ways

Posted under meta, holidays - Tuesday, January 1, 2008

Looking back:

This has been a year that I’ve done, really, some impressive things. There aren’t a lot of them, but they’re big.

  • I lost 70lbs.
  • I moved, with Seth, to the opposite side of the world on what has been an overwhelming adventure so far.
  • I started running (we’ll conviently forget that I’ve only gone two time since arriving in Taiwan) and love it.

Some other things I’ve done:

  • I converted to the Church of Mac (I just realized I bought two iPods for myself this year. I used the first nano so much it began showing signs of wear, so Seth got me a new fat nano for Christmas. It’s awesome, by the way).
  • I became an aunt (on January 1, 2007, actually - Happy Birthday Eliz!)
  • I celebrated the second anniversary of being married to Seth. Whoo!!! (Hmm…maybe that one should have gone on the first sub-list?)

Looking forward:
I think the biggest thing I want to concentrate living in a way that makes me happy, even if that means unhappiness along the way. I’ve been reading The Happiness Project for a long time now, and even though I’m not ready to actually start my own Happiness Project, as she suggests, but I think it’s officially on my radar - it’s a Happiness Blueprint, perhaps? I think I’ll be writing more in the next few days about what I’m hoping/planning to do to boost and maintain the level of happy that I want.

In the meantime, you have a Happy New Year, okay?
