piploverWell, it's the last day of 2011. I think, overall, this year was actually pretty good to me. I mean, its had its bad moments. I still hate my job, which hasn't helped my depression. And I still have health issues, which also don't help.
But overall? I think the good's outweighed the bad.
I found a church I like in September. It's the first time I've felt comfortable with a church in almost 15 years. It's welcoming, and although its Christian based, it's not a Christian church. The leader is a psychic, and one of the sweetest people I've ever met. And the people there are all amazing. The moment I step through the door I feel at home. That's what church should be, in my opinion.
I've been to England, and met some amazing friends face to face. I've become closer to my sister than I think we've ever been.
I've made some new friends this year, and lost an old one.
Writing - wise, this year has sucked. I think I've written one or two things, both really short. Although I have started on the sequel to Soldier's Heart. I'm hoping it will be ready in time for next Christmas, lol.
I've found some new fandoms, and read some amazing fanfics. I've found it's harder and harder to find good published books, because the writing doesn't seem to be as good as quality as the fanfic. Which is sad, and says something about the publishing industry, I think.
I've made changes to my flat, which have helped with the almost overwhelming urge to MOVE OUT. I still want a washer/dryer of my own, but I'm more accepting of my situation now.
And, to sum up, I've tried to make changes to my mindset. I've tried to stop being so negative, though I don't think I've succeeded. I'm looking into changing my life, the direction I'm going, and even though I know it's a slow process, I'm hoping that I've at least started.
So, all in all, 2011 wasn't a horrible year. It wasn't a great year, but sometimes, I think that good is good enough.
I hope you all have a wonderful last day of 2011, and that 2012 brings you all love, peace and happiness.
