It is my biggest hope that 2006 will be marked on a more positive note of what is yet to come this year. The first three and a half months were blurred together with stress at work and an ending of a relationship with someone who I thought would be my forever. When I said farewell to 2005, I didn’t expect this year to turn out the way it has. As I try to salvage what appeared to be a downer of a year I’m going to highlight some of the positives happening for me:
- I’m down 20 lbs. from the start of the year. If the weather and my knees would cooperate with me, I believe I can take some more pounds off. If that isn’t a confidence booster, I don’t know what is.
- Even though I stressed out about things going on in my life I kept focus. At work, we pulled off a tremendous amount of projects in a short timespan.
- My blood pressure has been extremely low through everything. January’s reading was 124/75 and last week’s reading was 128/78. I haven’t had this low of blood pressure in some time, especially the bottom number.
- Friends and family. What can I say? You all have been awesome! Thanks for the long late night talks and the listening ears. I’m always here for you all.
- I’m taking the initiative to move forward, get out and get involved in the community. I live in an awesome area and should give back to the community that I love and call my home. My plan is to volunteer and get involved with the County Animal Shelter.
- To move forward and do something with this site! Adorador.net recently celebrated 6 years online the Internet. This site has been in mothballs since March 2004. I’ve scrapped everything but the barebones and will be adding new content as the weeks progress.
In closing of this first post, I have to say that these ups and downs in life make way for a stronger person. Live the highs and survive the lows. In the end, life is what you put into it, and I want to live life to the fullest.
