2007 in review

So, as 2008 quickly approaches I have been doing some thinking about what a crazy year 2007 has been. To sum it up a little bit… I have gotten paychecks from 5 different employers, lived in 3 different zip codes, and have criss crossed this country in the process. I have walked on the beaches of southern California, run through corn fields in Kentucky, and chased my dogs through the frozen tundras of Michigan. Its been crazy, exhausting, eye-opening, and life altering all at the same time. I am counting down the days until I fly home for Christmas and New Years.
Some bits of wisdom that I picked up along the way in 2007…

People don’t change. You can’t make them change. If they hurt you once, they will hurt you again… and again.

Money is overrated. It won’t buy happiness, it won’t make you fall in or out of love, and it definitely won’t last. Learn how to be happy without it.

I love Michigan. It may be cold, dreary, and have lots of pot holes, but this state has given something to me that I would never have gotten if I had stayed in Georgia.

On that same note… it takes at least a full week for mail to travel from Georgia to Michigan.

Everyone should have a “stacy”. She has taken me places that I could never have gotten on my own. For those of you who don’t know, stacy is my gps. :)

If someone chooses to walk out of your life, let them walk. They are missing out.

Mind games are ridiculous. A little communication can go a long way.

You still have to pay mortgage payments even when you have a “For Sale” sign in the front yard.

Family is the one absolute in my life. The support I have gotten from them in the last year has been amazing and eye-opening.

Text messages are by far the best and most definitely the worst invention of the 21st century.

I am strong. I am confident. I am independent. I am happy. And nothing will ever take that away from me again.

Being selfish is absolutely ok. Sometimes it’s the best thing you could ever do for yourself.

Too much of any one thing is a bad thing. Guaranteed.

2007 has been a year that I will never forget. I can only hope 2008 will be half as memorable. (But for far different reasons). =) Happy New Year!
