The holidays have come and gone. I have enjoyed some well deserved and much
needed time off during the last few weeks.
We had the ultimate Florida
weather for the season with temperatures pushing the 90-degree mark for a
couple of days. As the reality of
heading back into my routine tomorrow sets in, a massive cold front has moved south and has moved me
to the comfortable warmth inside. This has given me an opportunity to reflect back and look forward.
Year In Review
2011 was a jam-packed year for me, and while only a couple of major things
happened, those things were very important to me and will impact me for many
years to come.
The most important thing that happened in 2011 was that I married the love
of my life. We met almost 22 years ago on a blind date. I knew that
summer that he was the person I would spend the rest of my life with. We
have had so many wonderful years together, and we finally sealed that bond with
the ultimate bond of 'till
death do us part. We had a very private, very quick ceremony on a
local beach performed by a work colleague who is a notary public. It was
simple and sweet, and I am so happy to be a Mrs. now!
The other very important part of my life this year was my sub talar ankle fusion surgery. My latest ankle fusion surgery was the fifth ankle surgery to my right foot. Needless to say, it's been a journey of sorts for me. You can read about my latest surgery: the history of my ankle fusion surgery, the downs of ankle fusion surgery, and the ups of my ankle fusion surgery. I've faced many difficult realizations regarding my ankle in these last 9 months, and I am working toward coming to terms with and accepting those realizations.
Oh, yeah, I also turned 40. I had a bit of an issue with that one, but I'm embracing it now.
2012
I don't want to sit here and say I resolve to do this, or this, and that
and this. It's so blah, it never works, and honestly for me, it only
leads to disappointment in, oh, say, about three weeks. But, I do have
some goals for the upcoming year. Goals are attainable. Goals can be
worked toward, set aside, built on and subtracted from.
Just to throw a couple out there for all the world to see:
My blog. I
finally have an idea of what direction I want to go with my blog. The
mindless ramblings are a great outlet, but I do want to make this into
something more. I have a small plan in place, and will be putting it
together and rolling it out in the weeks to come.
My career. Everyone wants
to better themselves in their careers. Professionally I have grown a lot
in the last year. I want to continue that growth.
My life. I love my life.
I can honestly say that I am very happy. I want to continue this
happiness for the next year.
Seashells. I want to
collect more seashells, doesn't everyone?
Happy New Year!!!
