This has been a rough year for many. I thought my company was going to get by without being hit too hard but this week the hammer fell. Two close friends got laid off from our office along with 120 others company wide. I felt so bad for my friends. I have been through many layoffs and have been on both sides. It never gets easier. It is such and emotional ride. On one hand you are sad because your friends are being let go and on the other you are relieved that it is not you. I hope that this new year will be a better one for everyone.
I for one like the new year as a chance to start fresh. Kimberley dislikes new year resolutions but I look forward to them. I like to set goals and try to make them happen. They don’t always pan out but I think it’s always good to take a look at things and try to better yourself.
So here are mine for this year.
I want to think more before I speak.
I want to read the bible everyday even if it’s only one verse.
I want to eat healthy and lose at least 75 lbs.
I want to blog at least 3 times a week.
I want to walk the dogs daily weather permitting.
I want to watch less TV.
I want to read 1 book a month.
I commend your resolutions and believe they are very reasonable.
I hope your friends find new jobs soon.
