inspirational quote of 2011 + accomplishments of this year

here's the 4th question of Reni's new year blog challenge...

what is my favorite inspirational quote for new year's?

"what at first may appear to be an ending, is often a new beginning." this is the quote in the photo i posted in my 1st blog entry of the year. and this is the saying i need to say to myself when i'm down and out to remind me that something had to end in order to make room for something better to come.

prompt 5 is...

three things i'd like to accomplish in 2011.

1. quit trevor (aka smoking)
2. find another opportunity at OLG (my current employer)
3. have enough money saved to put a down payment on a home

the above are some pretty huge goals. but it's time to have some milestones in my life.

Get me off this Ride! I'm feeling kinda sick!

Luckily I didn't post anything earlier today because I was feeling pretty sorry for myself. My entry would have been pretty pathetic. But since I still have my toffeenut soy americano misto in my system, I'm feeling pretty UP!

Here's a recap of my life.

• I got laid off and have yet to find a full time job. It's been over 3 months.
• Mr.Guy and I broke up because I didn't mean enough to him to take his sunglasses off at the dinner table.

Now do you get why I'm feeling pretty bleh?!

So now it's time to turn a new leaf in more than one area of my life. At times I realize these are opportunities for something better and at other times I feel I don't deserve any better.

It's just hard to be optimistic when everything seems to be going downhill.

Life can be so damn hard.
