I'm one of those annoyingly happy people almost all of the time!

This is definitely not a bad thing

I had my ups and downs.
The worst thing was my dad had a stroke, but now he is better. The best part was because he had stroke I got to Home home after 2 years of not seeing my family

Mostly good: got accepted to, and started grad school, good things happened at work, amazing snowboarding trip to Tahoe, successful move.

Unfortunately, two bads: my grand-dad passed away and I had to end my 2.5 year relationship even though I was still completely in love with him.

Oh well. Looking fwd to new adventures in 2012.

2011 was an awesome and frustrating year for me. My hubby had to have surgery (stressed me out to no end) but he recovered well. We bought our first house together. I have been reunited with several family members that I have been estranged from for years. A few other things that frustrated, but nothing heart breaking this year. Praise God for that. Yeah, I can say that 2011 has been a good year for me.

I think my year was pretty good .. considering .. We were blessed with the birth of our first grandchild. SHE is definatety the best thing EVER!

Besides, blubbering about "HER" .. I think we fared pretty good. My daughter split with her boyfriend of 3 yrs and has since been dating a fellow that I think might be "the one". We have our fingers crossed.

Our biggest "low" was attending a funeral just yesterday for a friend who died of a massive heart attack .. leaving a wife and 3 young children. He was 46 yrs old. THAT was definately a downer.

sorry about ur grandma op

my year was ok. def fresh! was nearly murdered, had to rehome my pet, move a few times, and got out of a 3 year relationship that was taking its toll on me. also was in and out of the hospital with infections and allergic reactions (and after being nearly murdered of course...no, not by my ex...by a stranger)That was the first half.

then i stayed with my mom for the summer and it was fun. then i moved to Japan. Then i started school here and yeah...made new friends and going about a single life with lots of options haha ^.^ so...i think it got A LOT better ^.^

The beginning of the year totally SUCKED. My depression and anxiety were the worst they have ever been..
A close friend of mine passed away in February and in between January and July I attempted suicide many times, very much early succeeding, spec when I took 100+ tablets ...

I started exercising and found out that works better than any stupid tablet ever will.
I have lost quite a bit of weight, am learning to love myself and life again...
Oh and I figured out what I wanna do for a living

So it started off bad, but the end was amazing..

It's hard to think back to the beginning of the year. Good, I started my weight loss this year and I'm below what I was last february. Bad, my dog got a lot worse this year. Her eyesight dipped way low, she has arthritis now, she gained weight. Different, I'm at the age where everything changes because of new responsibilities.

Good for me. Got married, hubby got a promotion, I got my first permanent job in the UK which means no more travelling at the weekends and living away from home during the week, decided to stay in London for a bit longer because we are enjoying it so much rather than going back to Aust which was the original plan, sorted my UK visa for a bit longer. Travelled to Australia, Fiji, LA, New York, Cotswolds, Oxford, Venice, Paris and Berlin. All in all, quite a fab year.

Also, I should add that I didn't lose the weight that I wanted to lose but for the first time in my life, I am eating normally. No 500 calorie days, no 8 hour days at the gym, no binge eating. Just normal. I can't remember the last time I was like that (although it was before the last time I lost weight which was 10 years ago). So I am feeling very positive about trying to continue like this but hopefully drop some weight. To me though, my normal eating is a much bigger achievement than weight.

2011 was a tough year - it beat me up emotionally, and financially... but at the same time the tests that came my way showed me that I am stronger than I ever thought I was because I came through them in one piece. I also discovered it's okay to trust people again, and that people can be generous to me and my boys.

While 2012 starts off in a worse place than last year started, I have more confidence in myself and know I have friends that will be there to scrape up the puddle of me should I lose heart.

Oh my goodness .. now THAT got my attention! I am so glad you gained your freedom from that state of mind. I hope you are past all that and feel better about your bright future. I really wish you all the best.

I am curious, what have you decided to do for a living? I hope that is not too personal of a question to ask. Just curious.

Good- can't think of many will try and think of some ooo actually getting 88% on an exam presentation to do with nursing.

Bad- where do I start having to give up Uni due to severe illness being diagnosed with a Tumor which isn't operable but not cancerous which is a bonus but going on to develop a heart condition due to it and being on 21 tablets a day to keep me stable.

But hey go there are people worse than me
