Been a while since I logged in here... I had over 2,100 deviations to go through. lol.

Last year was quite the write-off.  2 moves (My Husband and I have been living in our current apartment since September, and we STILL don't have a bedroom yet) and the death of a very close family member (which lead to move #2 4 months after the first one).  So yeah, not a heck of a lot got accomplished last year except a lot of packing and unpacking and 3 hour trips back and forth between our house and his mother's house before we finally moved down here in Sept.

I stopped colouring artwork in August, and haven't done any since, sadly.  I'm hoping that I'll be able to get back to it this year... it definitely  won't be back to the amount I was doing last year, but some here and there would be nice.

I started a 'business' with my Husband's sister-in-law, now that we literally live next door to each other.  I've been working on that when I'm not helping out my mom-in-law with house stuff, going in to town to run errands, doing cleaning or cooking, or sleeping. lol.

I'll be posting some pics from that tonight.


I turned 30 in Dec, and after hitting that 'milestone', I finally feel like an adult.  I like who I've become and I'm proud of myself.  I wish I could go back in time and tell teenage me that things'll be ok, to stop caring what unimportant people think because none of them will be there when you're 30 - just the people that care about you will be, so you gotta put them first.  I'm glad I've been able to repair wounded relationships with my family and friends, and I'm proud to say that I'm happy.  I don't have much (but I do have more than most, which I'm grateful for), but I'm happy with what I do have.

So yeah, my 'sagely' advice to everyone for this year is to let stupid stuff go and focus on what's really important - not just to yourself, but to those who care about you.  Cut negative things out of your life - whether it be bad habits, bad people, or bad environments.  If you want things badly enough, you can have them with patience, and effort.  And for heaven's sake, if you're depressed a lot, or feeling sad or down, or like you're alone and nobody cares, go see your doctor, a priest, a counsellor, whatever - and get some help.  It's hard to admit that you need it, I know - I've been there, but getting things sorted out makes you SO much happier, and that's all anyone really wants, isn't it?
