November is the start of a new year for me, not January 1st but November is my official new year. So seeing as how I am entering my new year that would call for me having and new years resolution of so sort. I guess it is going to be
"Finish what I start"
With all my resolutions I create "rules" for them. The rules for this one will be, if I say I AM going to do it, I WILL do it. That goes for anything as simple as meeting some one for coffee to paying a bill.
So what are the things I am going to do this year? I guess I will have to get back to you on that one.
Past Resolutions
2008: Live with no regrets
That is the first real resolution I ever made in my life that I stuck to. Living with no regrets allowed me to go into each day with out feeling bad about the previous day. I say now, "if it doesn't kill me, at least it will give me a story" and in the past three years I have had the privilege of adding some amazing stories to the book of my life.
2009: Live for me
If you don't know me I spend (more then than now) a lot of time doing things for other people, from helping people run errands to just baby sitting. I was becoming burnt out because I wasn't giving me enough time.
2010: LIVE/Travel/and no matter how sappy it sounds Love <3
This 2010 I have been able to live. I have been to 10 different places in the past 12 months even if it was for a few hours in and airport, I was still there. From the air some places look amazing, others look scary and depending on the time of day bright/dark.
Places i have been from November 2009 to October 2010
November 4th-9th 2009 I left Billings Montana and flew to Denver Co. Left Denver and Flew to Sacramento Cal. My friend picked me up and I spent the week in Yuba City Cal. While I was there I met few people but I was able to get to know my friend Kristina "X" a little more and meet some people who are in her life
January 21st 2010: I spent that day cleaning my rented room, and doing some last minuet packing. All my life into three suitcases and a back pack. Majority of the things I did pack I either left or gave away. Its surprising how much the things in our life really mean nothing when you look back at them. Yet again I left Billings Montana but this time with the hope to never return (that didn't work out) I landed in Seattle WA, hung out in the airport for about three hours then I took a puddle jumper flight to Vancouver BC Canada. There I called the hotel I was to stay at to find out where I was to meet the shuttle bus. Now this hotel I selected for two reasons 1. it had a shuttle bus 2. it has wireless net. The call with the night clerk was anything but helpful. I was informed that I was to get a cab and the hotel would reimburse me for the fare {as a side note I was only spending the night in Canada I had to catch a flight in the morning my goal was to not spend any money, let alone have foreign currency when I left}
January 22nd 2010: I left Vancouver Canada and flew 13 hours to Hong Kong. After going through customs and retrieving my luggage I was greeted by my sister, brother in-law and 2yr old nephew.
April 2010: I took a ferry to Macao (a horrid place)
June 22nd 2010: I yet again pack up my belongings and bored another flight. I flew from Hong Kong to Japan then from Japan to Seattle, Seattle to Denver (with a bonus 1 hour lay over turning into 5) then the last leg of the Journey from Denver to Billings.
September 8th 2010: I escape Montana for a brief time stopping off in Salt Lake City Utah to Philadelphia, then a quick ride to New Jersey
So here I am at the end of one year and the being of another. Morn the past but prepare for the future. Hope to see you there *cheers*
