We’re the lucky ones


So I failed to do a new year’s post. Luckily I don’t believe in new year’s resolutions, as I’ve stated. So I guess we’re all good on that front.

I do really like lists though. As in, there were times in college that I had a list of all of the lists that I had made. That’s totally normal, right? Awesome.

So in honor of the New Year and just because they’re awesome, today’s post will be in a list format.

1)      I don’t think that I say this enough, but I should. I am so blessed. I really am the lucky one. All of the wonderful people that I have in my life, and all of the opportunities that present themselves to me. All of my problems are first world problems, and that’s really the best kind of non-problem.

2)      I started a Jillian Michaels training program again. I pretty much can’t move any part of my body. With all of the stress and change that happened this fall, I really got out of the gym habit. I’m really pumped to be back in the gym and excited to start seeing some changes in my body.

3)      Eh, I don’t really like this number, lets skip it

4)      I’ve started online dating. It’s crazy entertaining. Nothing outlandish so far. All though I have gotten some interesting opening messages. The only that stands out right now is “5’8” huh? For real?” Because, you know, it’s woman that lie about their height on their profiles. I think online dating might need it’s own post.

5)      Lately I’ve really started to feel comfortable in my own skin. I am starting to really like myself, and I don’t mean in a superficial sort of way. Just in a “this is who I am, and I’m good with that”.

6)      I’ve also gotten a lot better about letting people come and go from my life in a way that’s organic. If they’re supposed to be here, they will be. If they’re not, then I need to accept it and move on.

7)      Life is a lot less stressful now that I’m learning to just let things be what they are. I think it’s making me a better friend and a better person. My guiding principles for the last few months have been to try and be nice no matter what and to not put my expectations on to other people. I’m so much happier. You should try it. Seriously.

Overall, I’m really excited about 2014. I have incredible friends, big plans for the future and a really optimistic outlook on where I’m headed. In a word I’m unstoppable.
 
Sorry for the lack of pictures. Even getting this post up has taken me over a week!
 
Also, list posts really lend themselves to the ADD way my brain’s been operating lately. Expect more J
 
Also, also I hiked Poo Poo Point last weekend. It was amazing. Be jealous.
