2010: A year in Review

Oh what a year it's been... I remember writing my year in review for 2009 and thinking the same thing. So much has changed, but all I can say at this point is that everything in my life has changed for the better this year.

Here's the reader's digest version of a year in the life of Kendra Lee Dwyer:

-I managed to exceed my sales goal again for FY 2010, and have already hit my sales goal for FY 2011, which doesn't end until June 30, 2011. In a few words; work is going well!

- I moved to Pacific Beach, and love living by the beach. I ride my bike to the beach often and take the time to do the things that make me the happiest.

-I learned the importance of doing things for myself, and that by doing that I am able to give more back to the people I love the most, but first and foremost, it's about making myself happy.

-I am still in love with the same person. We've been up and down and all over the place in the past 2 years, but I feel 100% confident that we are in a great place now. I've learned so much from this person, and I know that no matter where we end up, we'll always be friends and we'll always do what's best for the both of us.

-I have managed to create a family in San Diego, and that makes me so happy.

- I can finally say without a doubt in my mind that I am happy with where I am in my life, and who I am as a person. I feel that I am the best person I can be, and that makes me proud. I've learned that I'll never be perfect, and I've accepted that all I can do is my best each day, and that is enough.

-I took a vacation to Hawaii. Just for me, and I enjoyed every second of it.

I know it seems that there is an awful lot about "me" that I focused on in 2010, and my response to that is; "You're damn right!" It felt good to focus on me and making sure I got myself to a place where I feel great. I can only imagine what is in store for 2011!!

Live what you love....

I have always tried to live the best life for me. It hasn't always been easy, but I feel that I have turned out ok in the long run. I've made some bad decisions, had my heart broken one too many times, and been let down when I give too much. I have spent too much money on fun weekends with my friends, stayed out a bit too late on weeknights, and cared for people with all my heart, even when the feeling hasn't been exactly mutual. I've given this life everything I have and I plan to do so for the rest of it. When I have children I want to love them too much, just the way my parents have loved me. I'll wait as long as it takes and suffer as many more heartbreaks deemed necessary to find the person I'm meant to spend the rest of my life with. I'll be the happy, upbeat person that people sometimes wonder "How does she do it?" I'll have good days and bad days, but the truth is this is the only way that I know how to live. Give it all, so that at the end of the day when I rest my head down, I know I've done what I can. Life has given me so many blessings and I am prepared to live each of my days with gratitude as my foremost attitude.
