2007

As the new year rapidly approaches, I am consumed with thoughts of what to do for the celebration itself but more concerning is what changes may come about as one chapter in my life closes and another opens. To say the least, 2006, was a roller coaster of emotion and activity. I started out with a boyfriend, shortly to be single thereafter. I moved, bought a new car, met some of the best people I can imagine and some them turned into something that I didn't sign up for.

Most people see the new year as a time of replenishment, a time to make changes, and a wiping of the slate. I am inspired to agree but know that no one is going to be perfect. Mostly, the new years resolutions of losing weight and the like go on for a short time until you are thrown back into your old ways. The old ways that may not have been so terrible, but just you.

So, in response to the new years resolution, I say, I am going to approach 2007 with a zest for life and simply be the best Britt that I know how to be. The fun Britt, the good example Britt, the Britt that is loved and that loves. Like I haven't been hurt, like no one is watching, and that the only person counting on me is me.

Happy New Year!!

You know I got it...

At some point this blog became less of a daily journal and more of a "quick catch up" but after reading the past posts I have discovered that the majority of my posts consist of I went here and did this or I miss the ex, or I am over the ex, quickly followed by nervous breakdown blog about missing the ex...

OH, the strangeness of the past...

Lately has felt like a totally different life that I am living. I am finally okay with the fact that I am single. NO, seriously, I am. I know that I have said it before but I never really ACTUALLY felt like I was okay being single. The only way that I know this is actually true is that there have been possibilities for me to date someone and I walked away. I guess that at some point I started to like being with myself. I can read, listen to music, do whatever and I don't have to explain. If I don't want to be around people I don't have to be and that is a luxury that I truly have missed. Sure, it would be nice to find someone that I can fall madly in love with again BUT, the truth is, when I look those NEVER work out. It seems as though I can't be myself or I end up letting little things go that I never would have before because I WANT to date SOMEONE so much that I lower my standards. I know what I am worth. I know how fantastic of a boyfriend I am, no matter what the ex's say. LOL. So, here is to keeping the bar high and getting what I deserve.

Nothing less.
