Well, I have to say 2010 has started out with a bang for me. From partying with my friends in Miami and getting my first actual speeding ticket, to facing near-record lows in the “Sunshine State,” I’m interested in what the New Year will bring. Forget resolutions; this year I have more of a wish list: finding a good, sane man, getting my finances in check, getting in shape and working on my time management. Not totally unrealistic goals, but will they all work out? Probably not. However, I’ve decided to make it a point to try and be realistic in what I expect out of life, especially in situations where I have little control (ex. finding a guy). We often beat ourselves up for not being where we’re “supposed” to be in life, or for things not going as planned. But remember, there’s a certain challenge and excitement to be found in dealing with the curveballs that our thrown our way. It’s not always easy, fun or pleasant, but more often than not, these setbacks and reality checks are what make us stronger and who we are today. Yea, this is easier said than done. Do I wish I hadn’t gotten caught speeding on my way to Miami? Of course. But it was bound to happen sooner or later, and I had to swallow the difficult fact that, yes, shit does happen. Even to me. So this year, do your best to make that extra effort. Don’t be afraid of change or of taking reasonable chances. And most of all, keep your head up, stay positive and buckle up for the ride.
