2009 vs. 2010

I’ve determined that 2010 is going to be my year.  I not only want 2010 to be my year, but all of those around me to have it be their year as well.  It’s time for everyone to stop making excuses as to why their dreams don’t come true.  In 2008 my husband and I had a HORRIBLE year.  My husband was in school and because of downsizing I had been let go of my first high paying job since graduating college.  In 2008 we were drowning.  In 2009 we were treading water and by the end life was okay.  2010 is going to our year to sail! 

This is why I started making my changes in 2009.  So many people make New Year’s resolutions or say I’m starting this on Monday.  It’s so much a part of society that it’s also acceptable to not follow through.  Therefore I started my changes a month before so that Rewriting my Story wasn’t just another failed resolution.  Also, my resolution this year was to have the best year of my life.  That incorporates everything:  building my business, building better relationships, losing weight, etc.  I encourage all of you to figure out what you need to change in your life and roll them into one resolution as well. 

One of the changes that I made was writing down a list of everything I wanted to happen so that each morning I had something to look forward to.  On that list for the last two weeks I had, “Thank you for our raises.”  I said our so that it could be either my husband or I.  However, on New Year’s Eve the hubby went out for drinks with some coworkers and found out that the position we’ve been waiting to open for about two years is being posted soon!  Since he’s been an intern there forever we believe it is just his for the taking.  It will equal about a $10000/year raise!  Then, I found out I’m getting anywhere from a $2-3 per hour raise!   Which between the two of us after taxes will be almost $900 more per month!  One of my goals has been to double our income and this takes us one step closer.

However, while I’m doing okay on my other changes I am working on getting back on track with my Isagenix and not complaining.  My last wisdom tooth is coming in (which is weird because I should be too old for this) and I’ve been in a lot of pain for the last week… which I’ve been complaining about.  Which has then made everything worse.  So again I’m working on that aspect of it!

I hope you all get amazing news to start off 2010 as we did!  What are your resolutions?
