a new year

hello blog- remember me? yeah, its been a while. though i fully abide by Rule Number 76: No Excuses Play Like a Champion, a should at least say that busy season #2 has taken over my life and that somewhat explains the lack of blogging. anyways, not too much has been happening (as i mentioned, work = life for the time being). the holidays came and went, and suddenly i found myself in 2011.

a new year... a time for new beginnings, resolutions, etc. i personally like to make new years resolutions, and generally stick to mine. my resolution this year is to work on relationships. now, that may seem vague, but i think it is a very tangible goal.

recently, having been so absorbed with work, i have not been what i consider to be a very good friend/relative. actually, this is not just a recent thing, i dont think i have ever been very good at maintaining relationships. back in college, my high school friends and i would rarely talk while we were away at school, but when we were back at home, together, it would be as though we never were apart. this was fine, up until now. because now, there is no going home for winter break; everyone is going off in her own direction in the world. once i realized this fact, i decided that now, more than ever, it would be up to me to keep those amazing friendships i have built over the past years alive.

and the truth of the matter is, relationships are the most important thing you can acquire in life. an education may get you a job, and a job may get you money, but, as the saying goes, money dont buy happiness. cliche, i know, but oh so true.

so cheers to 2011 - out on my own, but not alone!
