New Year...New Beginnings

I'm sure most people have heard the quote, "When one chapter ends, another begins."
That's how 2011 feels for me.

I've spent a lot of time the last few weeks reading my old blogs and digging up my old journals. It's amazing to go back just a few years and see how much things have changed, but then to also see that some things haven't changed all that much.

But it's a new year, a new chapter, so no more looking back for me. I've spent too many years thinking about all the "what ifs" in life and how my life "could have" turned out. Well I'm done. Certain situations and certain relationships didn't work out for a reason (some I've figured out while others I'm sure I will never know the answer) but they all served a purpose.

It's been almost a month since I was laid off and I haven't really panicked or freaked out as much as I thought I would. Until last week that is. That's when all the tears and the "what the hell am I doing with my life" started to pour out. It sucked, but I figured it would happen eventually so it wasn't a big shocker. For once I was thankful that I lived at home with my mother, because if I had actual bills to pay I'm sure the freak out would have been much worse.

I have a sort of interview tomorrow with another company and I'm really hoping for some good news from them.

I'm not really sure how to end this, but another quote comes to mind;

"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." -Lao Tzu

Here's to the start of a new journey...
