a new year...

so I welcomed 2011 in a low-key way. I had a bunch of parties I was supposed to go to, and my sister was supposed to come with. But she was tired--and my DD, lol--and since everything was so last minute for this damn "holiday" anyway, I just decided to stay home. But that's not to say I didn't have fun! But--I will definitely plan better for next year! The holidays snuck up on me this year. Work was especially stressful thus holiday season due to it being my first holiday season as a supervisor. Sometimes it's okay to relax and just do nothing...

I guess I did ring in the new year early on Thursday...with kind of a spontaneous going-out with my favorites from work. Some of these people are my best friends and when we go out, it means a lot to me. Just because we can get away from everything and just kick it. Do whatever, go whatever, with whoever. So we went to Dave & Buster's. Just in time for happy hour, I might add...hehe. And then we shot some pool. Simple, but the people I was with made the night.

And so this new year...this 2K11...will be my best year yet.

I'm gonna focus on the little things. Because that's what matters. 50 years from now I won't remember the guys I dated, the people who pissed me off on the road, Laker game scores....but I will remember the people who carried me through hard times, the people I was with when we were laughing so hard we couldn't talk, inside jokes that had us looking stupid in public (but of course we didn't care). Because life's not defined by what statistics you make yourself a part of. Life is all the little things...i define my life by all the moments where I'm happy. Where I don't have to worry. Where I don't care about the consequences. This year I plan not to take anything that God's thrown my way for granted.
