New Years Day

I'm looking outside the window at a peaceful, calm morning. The sun is out, birds chirping, there is a cat rolling around on the ground (probably the neighbor cat who is a Zoe look alike). Something feels different today. Something new, refreshed, restarted. I always try and come up with resolutions that I usually end up breaking. Last year I decided not to make a resolution, but instead come up with something different. I opted for "A year of firsts". I don't think I really did as many as I would have liked, but I did do some things I hadn't done before. Tried new restaurants, ran over a 5K race, etc.

This year since I just moved to San Diego I am focused on getting back to what my life should be. It's the year of the Dragon in the Chinese New Year and that is the year I was born. I see this as my opportunity at a "rebirth". Changing things and moving forward and being happy, not looking back unless it is to learn from what I have done. My number one focus right now is finding a job. I took a huge risk coming out here without having one lined up. The interesting thing is, even without a job I am happier here than when I was in Arizona. It is true about what I have said before. I'd rather be poor and happy than wealthy and unhappy. The wealth I have here are my friends, the beach, Zoe being able to go outside with me, even my neighbors are wonderful. I think I can only name 1 or 2 neighbors I ever spoke to back in Phoenix. I have full conversations with them here and they are so kind and helpful.

Here's to no resolutions for the new year. I'm staying focused on making each day a good one and bringing positivity to myself and those around me.

I wish for good fortunes, health, and happiness to all my friends and family.

XOXOXO
