Moving on ....
So things hit rock bottom for me in 2007. I have no job, my thesis isn't finished (and at times I doubt it will pass when it is), I have financial worries, worries that I'll lose my house if I don't find work immediately, health issues with both myself and my family and a number of things I don't even want to get into here or anywhere at the minute .... you reach a point where if you give everything head space you can't function with your daily routine. And I reached that point ... I was stressed, I was avoiding things, I was just plain freaking out .... but it didn't help. It gets you nowhere ... except maybe further down into the hole.
But I've done that thing where I look at the year gone past (and all it's hideousness) and I've looked at the year ahead. Now I realise that there is a bit of hope for me in 2008 if I get off my ass, stop worrying about everything and just plough on through as if everything is going to work out. You know, with the power of positive thinking, maybe everything will work out just fine. So I'm starting fresh, and for me that means a new LJ name too. I know that doesn't actually change things, but I have whinged and moaned in this journal so much recently that I can't even face looking at it any more.
So the new journal is created and I've added everyone who is a friend on this journal and seems to be active on LJ at the moment. So that odd person that just added your journal? That's probably me. I'll leave everyone there for a few weeks but if you'd rather not add me back that's fine. At the end of the month I'll clear out everyone who has chosen to part company here. And if you're reading this and no random Northern Irish gal has added you, but you wish they had, give me a shout and I can rememdy that. LOL
So good luck everyone for 2008 and beyond, wish me luck with this positivity thing :)
