Resolutions-March

This post is coming very late in the month, I realize. And although I haven't blogged about it, or even thought about it in terms of a resolution, I have had a goal in mind this month. I have been trying to have more FUN.

Because of my new path in life, I am having to change my daily routine quite a bit. I used to work 8-5 every weekday, go home, cook dinner, clean, watch The Office and go to bed. (I'm a homebody, so this was fun to me-I LOVED my routine) However, I am told that this is not the best use of my time now that I am single. I have to "make appearances" at places, I have to go out, try new things and have fun. Not bad, right? Except that this concept of "going out" to "meet new people" (fyi, picture Jolynn's resonating voice with each quotation mark) is a little terrifying to me. I will say that aside from the many sweaty palms, stomach aches and incredible anxiety I have felt, I have had A LOT of fun. And it is entirely thanks to Jo.

Here is my new daily routine...

8-5 Work

6-8ish Dinner (sometimes I cook, sometimes I don't)

8-9 get ready to go out

9-12 go out (this may include any of the following activities: YSA FHE, sushi tasting, bowling, pie party, game nights, dancing, movie nights, having friends over, etc.)

12-2am, go to bed

Changes

Although I don't I don't think that many people read this blog besides those who would already know about the struggles I have been facing in my life right now, I feel the need to make some sort of public statement about the changes which I am experiencing in order to explain the future content of my writings.

To all my dear loved ones and friends,
Some of you may not know of the difficulties Jonathan and I have experienced in our relationship. And, it is with sadness that I tell you now that we have decided it is in both our best interests to separate. This is an extremely difficult and heartbreaking decision as you must understand. And though I am not able to speak openly of the details of our separation, I thank you for all of your continued prayers and silent support. Thank you for being such wonderful friends.

Melissa
