Happy Anniversary [Not so Happy]
I had my 5 year work anniversary on January 16. Once upon a time working for companies that truly valued employee loyalty was not uncommon. I've received many gifts in the past for each year of service: celebratory luncheons, mentions in company newsletters, a card, etc. I am sure you all know of what I mean.
It's not that I ever expect anything, but the recognition and knowing that it's "the thought that counts" is what bothered me since my day came & went: Without mention.
Instead of sulking. I made my very OWN celebratory luncheon! I treated myself to one of my favorite meals. It was a big deal to me because I have been very strict on myself on my diet & my budget. I splurged. I treated myself, congratulated mySELF on 5 years of wonderful service to my job.
I felt much better.
Sushi made it better.

Welcome 2012 | First Blog Post This Year
I did not make any New Years Resolutions. Not that I have anything against them or those who make them. It just seems like such a daunting thing to me. I have my mini resolutions that I tackle on an everyday basis. I face tasks as a mom, as an employee, as a wife...you get the picture. I am goal driven and do my best every day. My "best" may mean that a lot gets put to they wayside and is left incomplete for a few days (or LONGER)- but as long as my family and I are happy, healthy, and making progress - that is success to me!
One of my goals is to blog everyday. Even it means just a tiny little blurb. SO what if it's not perfect? I am doing this for me after all. If my post goes unread, well then - it goes unread. Boring to some, but enjoyment for me. I love looking back on things that I have penned. Not always pleased with what I've written, but always pleased that I had a moment to.
Blog everyday, even if just a little.
