    January Jewels - week one 2012!

    Happy New Year, Jewels!!

    CONGRATULATIONS CHILLGIRL!! 2 YEARS AF IS AN AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT!!!! :yay: You really are such an inspiration and supportive person to everyone on this thread...I can't thank you enough for all your positive energy felt across this world!!:l

    My New Year's Eve was spent alone, curled up on the couch in a blanket in front of the fire...and I was very content. My mom's foreign exchange student text me from NY to tell me he was in Time Square...watching Justin Bieber (who he can't stand)...I had text him earlier and joked that he missed his flight just so he could stay to see him...he said he's looking forward to seeing us all today and sharing all his pictures (and sleeping). I also spent the switch of the year on the phone with my son...he called...we talked for quite awhile...he'll be home in a couple hours...I can't wait!! I've decided, though, this year, I'm going to make more of an effort to make some friends...perhaps even reach out to more people. Also, I'm going to just take more chances in general...whether that means in making friends or taking a leap and trying harder for a different job...not just sit by and hope something falls in my lap. I need to make something happen...I'm also going to pursue my doctor appts and follow through with what I started...I'm not going to let the disapproval of my mom or anyone stand in my way of anything anymore. I think worrying about what other's think has hindered me from doing a lot of things I've wanted to do in my life....I want to work on changing that this year....being AF is helping me realize I have the strength to do anything I set my mind to!! I have all of you to thank for helping me to get to this point!!:l:l

    Well I better go get another load of laundry done and get ready to get on the road to go get my son!! I hope you all had a WONDERFUL start to 2012!!! It's going to be a great one...I can just feel it!!!!

    PS--Rusty, our stupid TV stations aren't showing the Packer game....WTF?!?! Bears/Viks or the Dolphins???? C'mon!!!! URG!!!! Cheer for me!! lol!!

      Congrats Chill!!! What a year you have had, and what an example of soulful searching you have set us all. I think whoever said 'Stellar' hit it exactly; our star, much beloved. I look forward to seeing your year unfold.

      Cassia - so good to see you and hear from you, do take care. And hello to all newcomers, happy year-in-the-making. Lav and LBH, so hope your dinners turn out well, and I'll be happy to see you have a bit of a rest.

      Off to get a leg up on more of the household 'to-do' list...it always seems like a magical day, when everything finished up becomes a springboard for the year...

        Good Afternoon All
        What an inspirational Thread!!!! I am enthused about every single one of the goals set out here and the achievements celebrated.
        I hope you won't mind if I tag along for 2012, I need the motivation. (Not so much for being AF, I have that, but for all the other life changes). Thanks for sharing all the positive vibes.

            Chillie!! You rock soul sista!! Thanks for being here and sharing your journey. :h

            HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

            I'm so happy to be a part of this wonderful group and to be AF!! I'm grateful to each and everyone of you for your stories, your support, your encouragement and your honesty.

            I'm ringing in the new year with a nasty cold and had to cancel a get together with my hoarder friend. I've been playing around with the new FB format which is actually kind of fun; watching lots of TV which has been so unusal for me this past 19 months and just taking it easy. I did manage to put in my required 8 hours of work this week and I've done some dishes and laundry today. It's sunny and very mild out. I really wish I felt good enough to take the dogs for a walk but it's not to be.
            Tomorrow if I feel better I'm going over to my sis's house to give my neice a makeup lesson and possibly a sewing lesson.

            If anyone gets a chance to catch it, I highly recommend the new documentary, "I Am" by Tom Shayac. He directed a ton of Jim Carey movies as well as many others About Tom Shadyac | I AM The Documentary | Official Site
            This is a very powerful film and really gets you thinking. It was on Oprah's Super Soul Sunday today.

                    Hi Cass-yes-I was able to refinance and save about $193/month so that is a big help. Still can't afford agility tho-I'm back due to the generosity of my family for my birhtday. 12 weeks of classes!! Whoo hoo!!

                      Great to hear everyone's plans and enthusiasm for the new year. I happen to be able to source a lot of inspiration from within, but i've realised that it's also important and beneficial for me, to 'bludge' off the inspiration and positivity here also. :H

                      But seriously, i'm understanding that it's okay not to do it all myself, and to reach out a bit and connect. You are a great bunch, and thanks for accepting me with open arms.

                      Looking forward to 2012. Bring it on!

                        Hi everyone, I have been mostly on the daily thread, but I think I am ready to graduate. I quit drinking alcohol last February, and I have been lurking here every day reading and marvelling at the great people here. I posted a few days ago but chickened out as I thought my post was too long and too much about me. Here is a photo from my New Years Day walk by the river today, very grateful to not feel ill and depressed. Hope this does not size too large for peoples screens. I see there are a few people fond of beaches here. Happy New Year!!

                          Welcome aboard, Kaslo, :welcome:We'll be happy to have you join us! That is a lovely picture. Isn't it wonderful to be starting 2012 with the energy and enthusiasm for a walk, rather than a draining, debilitating hangover?!

                          Mr. G, Thanks to Chill's link I got to listen to a few of your songs. I really truly enjoyed them. You have a very good voice, too.

                          Hi Papmom, good to hear you are still doing agility. Do you still have your blog and if so would you care to share the link?

                          Welcome Wally,:welcome: It's great to have you join us and we look forward to getting to know you.

                          Dont forget, you can: start late, start over, be unsure, try and fail AND STILL SUCCEED!

                          If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse.

                            Gorgeous photo, love it, spent the first day of 2012 being a slug, just laying about doing piddly things.
