You know I was at a party recently, and someone said they were thankful this decade was over. I had not really considered it to be a new decade, I thought last year was the new start, but apparently, I was wrong. I am glad I was wrong. This particular person also stated he was so glad that this decade was over because it was his worst ten years ever. I concur. It was almost my ten worst years, ever.
In my past ten years, I had lost more than half of my family, being an only child, this is pretty significant. My husband and I divorced, and then my fiancee passed away. My employment situation was difficult, I was laid off 3 times, and I moved across the country and back. On the other hand, I earned two college degrees, published a book, and had other successes on the web. I never wanted to have a boring life, but I wasn’t thinking this was the life I wanted either.
I think of what I want to accomplish during the next ten years. Some of you may know I am going back to school for a career change. I am looking forward to changing careers. I am looking forward to being in a role where I can assist others and help people change their lives. I want to make real differences in lives. I also look forward to maybe another book, we will see on that one 
Maybe I will finish up those 30 days of honesty. I found some of those difficult to publish online, while it may be ok to share my thoughts, but it isn’t fair of me to drag others into this on the web.
