Down in the Dumps

It hasn't been a good week in the life of me. I'm feeling pretty listless - an unusual state for me.

We all have times in our lives when we feel down. What do you do to get yourself out of such a state?

Relocate?

Thanks for the responses to my New Year post. Yes, I make resolutions. You can check 'em out on Heads Turn. On to today's post...

I've been thinking a lot lately about moving after I finish my degree. Two of my best friends have moved to Florida since H.S. They both tell me how much they love it there. They both are in southern Florida where there is a lot to do and many young professionals in the area. I love the beach and the weather from my visits there over the years. I never really gave moving any consideration b/c I was in a long-term relationship here. Now that I am free as a bird - having my own place near the beach among young professionals sounds good. Really good. My friend says she KNOWS I will love it there. I think she may be right...

Did you move after high school or college? Was it to start a new life or strictly for a job opportunity? Are you glad you made the decision you did? If you are still living in your hometown - have you ever thought about leaving? What keeps you there? Anyone else out there considering a big move?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

After a much needed break from blogland - I'm back. I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful holiday season. With the start of a new year, many people choose to take this time to reflect over the past year. Then, inevitably, comes the list of resolutions for the new year. I have mixed feelings about "New Years Resolutions". I'm of the opinion that it is never a bad thing to strive to make changes that will improve your life. On the other hand, I think people often go overboard and set themselves up for failure. For me, therein lies the problem. What do you think?

Do you make New Years resolutions? Are they specific goals or broad lifestyle/attitude changes? What significance does the start of the New Year carry for you?
