Your Year in Review

1. Did you make any New Year's resolutions last year? If so, what?
To actually LIVE my life and not be so afraid.

2. Did you keep your resolutions?
Yes I have - I am living and while I am still afraid, I am doing it.

3. What is the biggest/most important lesson you learned over the last year?
That life is far too short to not allow love in your life. That it is counterproductive to continually fight to protect yourself. That it is okay to be vulnerable.

4. What is one thing that you meant to accomplish but didn't?
Lose the weight that I have gained.

5. What was the biggest change in your life over the last year?
Learning to be self-sufficient. Going to the BFP Reunion - this was HUGE for me. It forced me to stop hiding behind the security of my screen and meet people.

6. Do you like cheese?
Love Love Love Cheese!

7. Did anyone new come into your life over the last year?
Many new people have come into my life... Some from last year who are still here this year, but I am closer to them and have shared new things about myself with them and have learned new things about them - so in a sense, even those from previous years are new.

8. What are you most thankful for over the last year?
The people who continue to love me, even though I am constantly screwing things up! Sometimes, I am just amazed at how blessed I am for the people in my life. I don't always feel I am so deserving... Yet, thankful I am. And most, I am thankful that I have three brilliant and beautiful sons. That I raised these boys and they are high functioning (lol). I am thankful I didn't screw them up so much.

9. Will you make any New Year's resolutions this year? If yes, what?
No, because I am tired of letting myself down.

10. Name one new thing that you plan to do in 2011.
Maybe I will cook in 2011. I have a crock pot - Maybe I will use it. Serious... I am not domestic, and I feel like there is something lacking with me. So, if I could prepare meals for my family, then that would be a new experience for all of us.

To lose all the weight that I set a goal for. It is an ongoing process.

Life is good.
