One Week Into 2009: How's It Been For You So Far?

Hey,

Glad you're looking forward to what the year has to bring. On New Year's Day, in its first few minutes, my thoughts and heart went out to all those who didn't make it through.

I wish you a safe, healthy, exciting and successful 2009.

take care...

It's bloody freezing over here too (England)!

Great that you have yourself organised in terms of dates and that things are ticking over well for you.

Do you have a central system for heating? Could you perhaps turn down the heating a tiny notch and put on an extra sweater/socks to save on costs?

In any case, wishing you a FAB 2009.

take care...

...AND THE AWARD FOR THE MOST TERRIFIC START TO THE YEAR GOES TO...

Sounds like it definitely worked out for you!


So, where do you go from here - what do you plan on doing?

I'm going to hope for some more temporary assignments. In the meantime, I will concentrate on my internet writing, surveys, myLot and other things I can do to add to my income.

It'll be a great year! I hope yours is, too!

I'm sure there are temp assignments out there with your name all over it! They just don't know it yet:-)

You never know, you might get enough internet writing gigs to not need to get a temp job.

You just never know.


All the very best.

I think I've only had to write down the date a couple of times so far this year and each time I've thought, 'Wow, it's 2009'.

I'll probably get used to the new year by the end of the month...or February...or December!

Writing down '10' as a year is gonna be really weird, don't you think?

Glad that your 'so far' has been good:-)

take care now...

"when things ARE actually going to change"...

I hear you. I can relate.

I felt more enthused when Obama won than I do about the New Year. The day after he won, I felt I could do ANYTHING. But that feeling's kinda withered away.

When are things actually going to change? I think that's up to us, isn't it?

take care...

Yes it is up to us...and I'm trying to become best friends with the Law of Attraction...LOL! It's working, but not quickly enough for me!!:P

Sometimes things seem like they're stalling or not moving fast enough, like waiting for eggs to boil. And then, in the blink of an eye, while you're not looking, while you take your mind off it and busy yourself with other things, hey presto, the eggs are boiled!

Of all the advice I hear, that's right up there near the top! Thanks!!

:-)

Please don't apologise. That's how you feel.

I have this image of you picking up a bucket of flourescent paint and splashing it against a wall. The wall represents 'sameness'. The paint represents 'change'. And you're going 'AAAAHHHHHHHHHH' running towards the wall in slow motion.

By the time you're done, the wall is covered in your own beautiful self-validated graffiti.

Then you walk away with the sun sitting on your left shoulder.

take care...

You remind me of my sister. She's usually running around taking care of other people.

Maybe you need to make the changes you have in mind one bit at a time. Less pressure on you plus you still get to revel in the sense of achievement - just that they'll be bite-size goals.

How's it going for me? Hmmm. This year, I'm trying to be more proactive with my ideas rather than thinking it to death.

I hope you have a lovely lovely 2009. You'll get there.

take care...
