A new year usually calls for a reevaluation of my life's journey.
I have made baby steps in self esteem this last year. By trial and error I know exactly how much bullshit I am willing to deal with; that would be NONE. I am in a good place about my worth as a human being. I am smart, funny, caring and naughty; all in all, a good combination. The only issue remaining is my body image. That has been a lifelong issue. I was always the chubby girl and I grew into an obese adult. I am changing my eating habits and trying to incorporate exercise into my plan. I need to follow a very strict nutrition regimen in order to lose weight.
I have yet to determine what sort of relationship I want, or if I want one at all. I like the idea of having someone to date, but I really like having little to no drama in my life and I wonder if the two are compatible.
I adore my new job and I hope to continue my education in Gerontology and advance in my position.
I foresee a move in the near future. My place is too expensive due to the 84 mile daily round trip to work. Nearly a third of my pay goes into my gas tank and I get 30 MPG. Being closer to work would be better, but I am not sure where I am going to live- I am SO NOT a country gal, so Romeo or Almont are probably never going to happen. Ferndale is a possibility, but it only shaves 20 miles off of the drive. On the plus side, I can rent cheaper than Grosse Pointe and I am still close to the city.
There's a lot still hanging regarding my life right now, but I am feeling optimistic about it for a change.
