Life check

I was feeling down a few days ago, I was was going to name this shortcomings of a decade; thinking about it, I decided that I should be proud of my accomplishments from the decade. We all have moments in time that we wish we could go back and change...that "WHAT IF" but, in this new year & decade, I have decided to make positive changes.

Most of life has been spent thinking that the glass is half full, somewhere, I lost the positive light, I allowed negative thoughts and emotions to over power me. I lost track of what is important. I stopped doing all the things that I loved, that are important to me, and make me who I am. I let it all go, and lost myself in the process. I feel like I stopped living in the present, waited for something to happen, something to make me happy. But the truth is, I can't wait to start living, I want to participate in life daily. Why wait till tomorrow, when I can do it now. Life is all about what we make out of it, it doesn't matter how big or small, the small things count just as much as the big.

So, for my first blog of the year, I'm looking at all the accomplishments from the past decade...both big and small (that I can remember)...
