Good Riddance 2019

This is my first blog post of 2020 and although I would love to give a prolific and thought-provoking farewell to 2019 the best I've come up with is "GOOD RIDDANCE." I probably sound a little salty, if so, it's with good reason. I had knee surgery two weeks after Memorial Day. I spent the entire summer in an area in Virginia that's so rural Uber Eats doesn't exist. I did not walk or stand for six weeks, so needless to say going to the bathroom alone was a chore. No, I was not sad to see 2019 exit stage left. Although I have extremely high hopes for 2020, I'm trying to manage my expectations accordingly because I also had hella high hopes for 2019 and you see how that turned out. Ok, now that I've got my Debbie Downer and Negative Nancy part of this post out of the way, now on to the Positive Perfect Polly side. Although I would love to say that nothing great came out of 2019 because I'm clearly harping on the darkest moments of the year, I would be totally lying. I recognize that I have tons of horrible memories from 2019 but I have to acknowledge that I also have lots of wonderful memories as well. So, here's my Best 9 of 2019:

1. Spent Two Months of Invaluable Time Living with my Mom and Grandma
2. Successfully Survived Knee Surgery and Six Months of Therapy
3. Invited to Join the Women in Cable and Telecommunications Board of Directors
4. Designed and Began Furnishing My Home Office and Dressing Room
5. Executed a Soft Launch of Clutch Queen Style Servicing
6. Traveled to Colombia, Bermuda, Puerto Rico, Nashville, Detroit and Miami
7. Lost an Additional 20 Pounds (Down 45 Total Pounds!!!!!!)
8. Developed a Financial Plan and Met Financial Goals 
9. Started Journaling, Reading Scriptures and Praying More Often 

Oh and if you're wondering why I didn't ask your opinion on my News Year's Eve Dress or get dolled up and post a fancy pic ... well, because I didn't go to a party this year. I went to church (the service was excellent) and had a small gathering at my house for a few of my single girlfriends. It was the perfect way to end the year. So Happy New Year ... here are the pics and videos!!!
