Don't look back...

2010 is over and we can't look back on all the "would of, could of, should of's".  It was a tough challenging year for most people around the country and everyone has someone they love who is unemployed.  I started out the year without a job for the first time in my life as a working girl...it was a tough adjustment.  I missed my friends at work, my paychecks, my feelings of accomplishments...I might have even missed Mike Migliaccio yelling at me at time or two...(at least I knew he cared).  I DID not miss the commute over Ortega Hwy, getting the kids and myself ready in the am, a super mad transferee or working all day and then starting my other job once I got home.  I had all these great ambitions of things I would do while unemployed...lose weight, do my quiet time every morning, learn to sew,  have a perfect house (that is my favorite), peaceful mornings, scrapbook, organize every cupboard..you get the picture! 

So don't look back all the things we "would have done"...if we were more organized, or the things we "could have done"... if we had more money, or the things we "should have done"...if we were more disciplined.   We need to concentrate of what we did get done in 2010...my kids LOVED having a stay home mom that is for sure...moving them to a new school was so less stressful while not commuting to work.  I had dinner on the table most evenings, which means we rarely went out for pizza or fastfood, and I did  join the gym with my friend Barb..and went!!

I look forward to a new year of "will do's, can do's and shall do's" !
