1. The Goal: 365+6

I have a theory. I think when I am an even number age that my life doesn’t suck as much as when I am an odd number age. I realize it’s not rational or logical, all I know is that it has been that way for a long time. 2011 seriously sucked for me. I have been needing 2012 to be better… and so far, not so much. The last couple of months have been extremely difficult (as they were exactly a year ago as well) and I’m done having excuses to put off my dreams. Done.

It is time to start.

Taking a page from someone who has always inspired me and recently (as a voice from the past) is seriously altering my life at the moment, I have decided to spend the next year (and a week) to blog. Basically it’s for the year I am an odd number again. I am afraid. The last three years have been quite awful and even though I have been keeping a gratitude (I call them Grattitudes—an ATTitude of Gratitude—get it?) journal during that time, it has still been awful.

We’re talking people dying, having to move, being poor, being sick (and tired) kind of awful.

It’s not that I’m unhappy, I just know I can be happier, mostly with myself.

This is the time.

I am doing this, and I need ya’ll’s help to keep it up.
