It's that time of year again.

As it approaches the end of the I tend to sit back and relfect. I always say to myself I hope that the new year will be better than the last. Sometimes I feel that each year it get's progressivley worse.

I am not going to do that this year. I have decided that I need to reflect on what went right, what I have and what I will do differently.

I never thought that I would enjoy working in a call center but The Hartford is a great place. Although some mornings I do not want to get up and drive, once I get there I am surrounded by some of the most talented and pleasant people. Other than having to work period I don't hear any complaints. If I have to continue to work I will be there.

I have an amazing family. Never a time when one of us can't count on the other to lend a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on. I have to say this I have the most wonderful mother in the world. She is always there for me and my brothers. Without her I don't think that I would be half the woman I am today. ENOUGH with the sappy stuff, in my household it is clown or be clowned. No one is safe from our antics, and we take every oppotunity to make a seemingly harmless word like "teabag" and turn it into a dirty word.

Next year I have decided to make a lot of changes to my life. I guess they will be my goals for the year. Now I don't have them all planned out but I am definetley going back to college. I also need to learn not to be so trusting of others. I tend to take everyone at face value. I guess I refuse the reality that not everyone is what they seem.

Ja Ne!
