Taking Stock

So a while back I declared shenanigans on my own life and set out for a super exciting life makeover. I had declared that certain items must be in my life by August 31st or all bets were off and I was packing it in and moving back home. I decided since said deadline has passed it was time to take a look at what I considered my "awesomeness barriers" and how things have changed since then.

I lamented that I had no man in my life, no job that I loved, no good place to live and no exciting hobbies. First things first - I sort of have the man right now. We're moving back to that place and are trying to start fresh and see where it goes. So I check that off. No job I love - solved that. I now have a job that I love immensely and that I'm good at and receive recognition. Check. Still no good place to live the housing market is too damn expensive and I took a pay cut to get said new exciting job so its a no go. Exciting hobbies. That is a check folks. I'm working on that stuff all the time and really trying to develop my interests.

Apparently setting a deadline for yourself really does something. Who knew? I certainly did not. It wasn't even that long ago and looking back it feels so far and so long ago. I can't believe how much my life has shifted and how much better everything is now.

Last night, spending time with some girlfriends, the topic of when you were happiest came up. Interestingly, we all agreed that at this moment in time we are all at our happiest. I truly agree. Even though things aren't exactly where I want them and some things could be better (*cough*cough* Boyfriend *cough*cough*) it is not enough to make me feel miserable in my life. I have amazing friends and a great life. I am really, really happy and I don't think I would have imagined 6 months ago that this is the place I would be at.

I've finally found a job I love and a man who I'm pretty convinced is the one and a great group of friends who actually get me. Who could ask more?
