2009, I’m ready.
Sit back and reflect on the beginnings, instead of overly-anticipating the end.
It will come; just enjoy the road that is taking you there.
Learn to let go. Grieving is fine, but know it’s okay to move forward.

Laugh and play. Do it often, Dr. Jen’s orders.
Take risks. Scared of heights (and ropes, and lack of floor)? Just do it. You’ll never really know what something is like unless you TRY.
Family should always come first. Yes, late nights and time away from them pay the bills, but never forget it’s THEM you do it for.
Think about all the people that you don’t understand and get to know them.
You may find your best friend under the misjudgments.Apologize when you’re wrong AND when you know what you’ve done wrong.
If you can’t say something nice, don’t waste your breath. (Save it for something more productive … like singing in the shower!)
2008 was a great year, but the best is still
to come for us all. Cheers, 2009!

I wish some of the bloggers would use the tip of not saying anything at all if they can’t say something nice..lol.
I am still learning how to let go with my grandmother and forgive as well.
Happy New Year!
Great advice!!! Letting go is essential for good health as well. Anyone that cannot do so should talk to me! I almost ruined my health this year. It is not worth it to hold negative feelings about people or the past!

I’ve probably repeated this one of twice, but I’m still trying to convince my coworkers that Congress discovered a hole in the old Gregorian calendar and that they’re moving to make it officially 1309 instead of 2009…its only a matter of time before someone starts to believe me.
Happy Year of New, Jen!
