Good Advice

One of my high school friends talked to me about my separation today and it was so good to hear from her. For starters, I found out that she had been married and divorced after high school. She then gave me some great advice on moving forward with my life. One thing was that she got rid of everything that she had shared with him. I don't know if I can do that right now, or even if I can get rid of everything. But I do know, that I got a really good feeling about doing that and I know I am going to move toward it during this year. I've decided to call this the Year of Fe. The goals I have made for myself are below and I am working on them!

1. Lose 50 lbs {10 down, 40 to go!}
2. Run Half-Marathon {Thinking about downgrading to a fast 10K}
3. Zumba! {Ordered my Zumba shoes yesterday and I'm going to start going next week!}
4. Buy laptop with Windows 8 {Definitely thinking about this for school}
5. Visit Sean in San Francisco {DONE!}
6. Visit Brittni in Cedar City {Just need to pick a weekend and go!}
7. Boston/Salem, MA in the fall {not sure if I can do it this year, but I'll try!}
8. Travel more! {obviously}
9. Take more photos {already started on my trip!}
10. Get my spirituality back {Mostly there, I got my recommend back and working on developing better habits}
11. School {just need to take a math placement test, and then I can go talk to the counselor!}
12. Be alone and be ok with it!
13. Be happy with who I am and realize how amazing I am! {the goal used to be to figure out who I am, but Sean helped me realize that I am already awesome, I just need to see that for myself}

Another thing that stuck with me was when she talked about moving away from everything. I've always been such a homebody, but being in San Fran with Sean helped me realize that I would be ok if I were to move away from Utah. It would be scary and I would miss my family and friends, but I would be fine. I'm really glad that Dana decided to talk to me about this. I know that I am not the only girl going through this right now, but it's nice to be reminded every once in a while. I've been going through Sean/California withdrawals, but her talk helped me feel more energy for starting to go through my stuff in the basement. I still have a lot of work to do, but at least I got started. Besides getting rid of things that remind me of Cody, I need to live more simply.
