As I write this T.O.N.Y. post, I am no longer sitting under the kitchen's flourescent lights, nor am I huddled at my messy corner desk in the room I've shared with my parents for the past 15 (or so) years. No; this hour and a half before midnight to a new year, I am spending with the love of my life, my best friend, my (often exasperating) partner. This year, I took the leap from singlehood to marriage. Funnily enough, it isn't what defined my entire year-- something most people automatically assume.
This year, ironically, was all about finding more of myself, learning about what makes me happy and unhappy, learning to say yes or no, learning to take things in stride. And along the way, I built some of the best relationships I’ve had in a long time.
I think I was afraid I would lose myself once I became part of a pair- a good thing, because it at least made me realize that I ought to find myself more (and I did!)
2014 was all about accepting things as they came and appreciating that there really are some things we have no control over. Life can take unbelievably topsy turvy twists and turns, leaving us with nothing but gumption, and the only thing we can do is believe that it’s enough!
Moving on to my resolutions, I noticed that I’ve been doing pretty well with some of them, but I failed spectacularly at “eating healthier”. My cholesterol shot up to 220 this year! Thus, my list goes as such:
1) Eat healthier!!! (Bring down cholesterol to 180)
2) Exercise exercise exercise!!!
3) Play the piano again
4) Drabble more!!!
Happy new year!
Cheers to another T.O.N.Y. from the non-single girl!
