Sobering fact

There were a couple of polls on another board I frequent, "What are your goals for 2012?" and "What were your 2011 accomplishments?"

I just realized that I don't feel like I made ANY accomplishments in 2011. Nothing has happened, nothing has changed for the better, I haven't gone anywhere or done anything or...ANYTHING.

Tongue Tied

That's so freaking depressing. 

 

Re: Sobering fact

  • Same for me. 2011 was supposed to be a big year and instead, I haven't made any progress. Rather the opposite.

    Hang in there, let's hope 2012 will be better. I like even years better.

  • well, try to focus on the things you successfully avoided.

    This year I, personally avoided a lot of things:

     

    death

    imprisonment

    major illness

    committing murder/bodily harm to another person

    embezzlement

    drunk driving

    getting fired

    severing a major limb

    crashing my car

    falling down stairs

    peeing in public

    paying retail

    doing drugs

    stealing

     

    I'm feeling pretty good about myself right about now

    ;)

    This is the best thing ever....I may read it everyday! :)  It made me lol...so thanks for that!!  I particularly like the "paying retail" one....

  • Me too! I went into 2011 with such hope and I didn't think anything could have been worse than 2010. WRONG. It go worse, way worse. So now I fear 2012 being even worse than 2011. Let's hope not!

    Same here. I finally got some self esteem and realized that I need to live for myself, not for anyone else... I now have an ex husband and my happiness, and those two things make me proud.

    It's just me and my Marlon now... and I LOVE it that way!
  • Did you make any goals for 2011?

    What do you plan to do in 2012 such that this year will be different?
