2012 please be good to me.

The last half of 2011 has been the hardest six months of my life, and I might go as far to say that I think I will never go through a transition this hard ever again (fingers crossed). I moved to a new city where I knew close to nobody, I've lost important people in my life, I am failing at my job, I do not have a church, and the list could go on and on. For someone who considers themselves relatively jovial, I spent a great deal of the past six months pretty unhappy. I did not think I physically had it in me to feel this way.

This said, the past six months have also showed me that I am loved. I believe that the best time for anyone to see/feel/understand how loved they are is when they're down in the dumps (ironic, i know). I have been blessed with an amazing family and incredible friends. While I may be in a stage of life right now where I go day to day not knowing whether I'll make it through the year, I find comfort in knowing that I can call a plentitude of people in tears and they'll listen (or they'll do a really good job at pretending to listen), and yes this happens frequently.

At the end of the day this is what I know. God has a plan. My prayer for this year is for it to go quickly, very quickly.

Goals for 2012

• Eat lunch every day
• Find a church
• Work smarter not harder
