Day 31- 365 Days

So here it is, the very last day of blogging for December and 2012. I have to say, it took some discipline and commitment to do it every day and I am glad that I did. Even on those selfish days that I thought that there was nothing more to be grateful for. Ha!

I did it because I was recognizing that I was losing steam. I did it to remind my self of all of the work and people that have brought me this far. And for all of the accomplishments that I haven’t let myself celebrate. It serves as a wonderful recap and a way to leave it behind.

What I am taking with me is the business plan that represents all of the days that I was creative, all of the days I was motivated to “get ‘er done!”, and all of the days I was inspired by numbers and spreadsheets. All the phone calls, research at assorted libraries, and all of the hundreds of people who chipped in. And the $26,000+ that was raised from over 100 people. But going into 2013, it’s just a plan and the money is just money in the bank or money spent. Tomorrow, none of it matters because it’s only the plan itself and the dollars that anyone cares about. And that will be fished out to 13 financial institutions. I hope to get a fish. A big one. And maybe even some smaller ones. And I also know that sometimes the Universe has a different plan for me. So let’s see what it is already.

So I find myself here on day 365 of 2012. This morning I woke up and realized that I don’t have much of a plan after mid January. I guess I am letting life work itself out after that. The job interviews will be done or at least started, all of the banks will be applied to for WeatherVane, and I probably still won’t know where I will be living the end of February. I just cross my fingers that my car will be working. And somehow, if I learned anything in 2012, it’s that it will all work out and I will just have to wait and see. Although, I did give myself a sneak peak at my horoscope for the year. Have you figured it out yet that I am a little superstitious? Only if the news is in my favor, of course.

So here it is. What some random guy on the internet named Michael has to say about the Snake year, 2013, for me: The Dragon has a good year to look forward to in 2013 which is a nice way to follow on from last year. If you are keen to do well this year and set plans to stone fairly early in the year, then you can get a great deal accomplished in 2013. As with 2012 there will be plenty of prospects for the Dragon. There will possibly be doors opening that you thought had closed a long time ago, the most important thing to remember is to spot a good opportunity when it comes and do not overlook the small print of any offer.

So there you have it. Of course, the Chinese New Year isn’t until February 10th. Until then, I am still in my Dragon Year. So I have a little more wrapping up to do. The aforementioned interviews and bank applications I suspect. But to you, I wish you a Happy New Year!

And PS- to Shawn: it says it will be a good year to strengthen romantic relationships. 🙂
