I am so ready for this new year, I am so happy with it so far!
I have been working quite a bit and although it's quiet, I do love my job. The boyfriend and I are in a very good place right now. I'm sure we were both feeling as if we were a bit touch and go for a while, we are definitely over that (thank the Lord) and I'm happier than ever. I don't know whether him/I am more forgiving, better at communication or I'm just over the little things but it's so much better.
I came in to the new year in quite a tiff with one of my good friends. When I was looking back on 2011 when we were about to ring in 2012, this argument was the only thing that I was 'regreting'. Thankfully, it has been resolved and we are also in a new, happier place I feel.
My main New Years Resolution (other than health&fitness) is communication. I will admit I was one of those girlfriends who would get very upset because 'he doesn't see that I'm mad even though I never actually said out loud that I was upset but he should be able to read my mind!'
Good one. How he put up with that I don't know.
I know now that I need to say what I'm thinking! How is anyone supposed to know what I think or how something is hurting me if I don't say it? I'm not dating a mind reader. (although most of the time he knows more what I'm trying to say than I do. Go figure) It's only fair for me to communicate. I realize that I need to do that more often. There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying what is going on! If you don't like something, say it! I know people have said it to me and it has hurt my feelings. I don't want to hurt feelings and there's a way to be polite but also be honest. I did this with my friend last night and our tiff was resolved. How much better to get it out in the open and get over it and move on! I would be very upset if we hadn't figured things out. She's one of my best friends. After talking, I think we realized that there were things we both would have done differently and I'm just glad we can move on and chalk it up as experience.
All in all I am SO ready for 2012, I'll post more about my other NYR later...hopefully I can make more positive progress towards my goal! Hopefully.
