What was your biggest accomplishment(s) in 2010?

[EricaH329]

I'd have to say that 2010 was the toughest year for me. But yet, the most rewarding.

 

I'd have to say my biggest accomplishments were:

 

-- Finding love and respect for myself.

 

-- Cutting out all of the negative people in my life.

 

-- Making a set goal for my future.

 

-- Allowing myself the time to relfect on who I want to be, and what I want out of life. Which has led to me being single for the last 10 months (longest i've ever been single).

 

What are you major accomplishments? I don't want to hear 'none', everyone has something. Lets hear them! :bunny:

[EricaH329]

Oh, just thought of another accomplishment! I quit drinking! Well, for the most part. I'll drink on a special occasion, but aside from that, it's also been the longest i've gone without drinking (since I started).

Happy New Year, Erica

• Survived a dangerous and potentially fatal encounter without any major injuries

Ur a cool guy USMC I hate to see you doubting urself. I also find my self questioning how a cool guy like you would choose to join the marines.

 

If your ever in my neck of the woods I'd love to hang out.

 

I myself acomplished a lot in 2010. I finished up my Doctorate and made many steps toward my future.

 

2011 has a lot of potential to it and its a time I have though of a lot for many many years now. Over a decade actualy.

It's a toss-up between getting to Australia and, like J2010, surviving. In spring, I got to spend a few weeks in Oz, which is something I've always wanted to do (and want to do again, on a permanent basis), and in fall I was in a motorcycle crash that, according to the doctors, I am very lucky not to have died in. But that was probably due more to the docs and paramedics than me, and since this thread is about accomplishments, I guess Australia takes the prize.

 

...I so want to go back there!! Anyone know of a decent place in either Melbourne or Sydney?

[paleblue]

I have to say also 2010 was a tough year. There were times I thought I was loosing it. But I realized what dignity was again, and regained mine with a vengeance.

Jan -- Happy New Year love!! I'm anxiously waiting to hear about how your night went! I haven't seen you in chat

 

You have definitely learned a lot this year, and i'm so very proud of everything you've been working towards. You are one of the most positive, and kind people I know. 2011 will be a great year for you, I just know it! :bunny:

 

Hokie -- Even though I wish you didn't have to go through the pain and confusion you did this year, i'm glad it happened. Now you are able to really reflect on things properly. I did read your thread, and i'm very proud of you also! We will talk more in depth about it the next Sunday Funday we go out on (I still owe you one, don't think you are getting out of it either mister!)

Green -- You finished your Doctorate? That's a huge accomplishment!! Congratulations!

 

Johnny -- Wow you traveled to Australia?! I'd love to go there! Was it for a vacation?

 

Surviving a motorcycle accident may not be considered an accomplishment per se, but it's definitely a huge highlight. Thank goodness you came out alright!! I'm sorry you had to go through that, but i'm sure it made you reflect on life afterwards.

 

Pale -- Isn't it awesome?! Gaining dignity and respect that you've never had before? Makes me feel very grateful for the experiences I went through, even though they were painful. In the end, I was better off than I had originally started.

Dinner--> fireworks --> house-warming --> late-night/early morning chat --> brunch --> hours walking into the City before catching a train home.

 

Probably one of the busiest and most interesting NYEs I've had in a long long time. It was brilliant and much of it was planned at the last minute - those are usually the best ones.

 

Logged into chat around lunchtime (your time) but then fell asleep and didn't wake up until this morning (my time). Had only slept for a total of 6 hours over NYE and NY day, so had a lot of sleep to catch up on.

 

Now that we are in 2011, I feel like the world is full of wonderful possibility. I am so excited and looking forward to all the new adventures I'll be having. Of course, it's sunny right now and that always helps to put a smile on my face!

 

Thank you for the kind words. I don't even have half of what you have in your spirit. As I wrote in chat, your positivity and kindness just shines and the vibe in the room changes immediately when you log in. I hope you continue on the path that you've decided for yourself and that 2011 brings you everything that your heart desires and more.

 

See you in chat

A+

 

My accomplishments...Let's see -

 

Seeing my family/friends happy and our bonds strengthened.

 

Working through and letting go of past angst and getting to a place where I am okay with the hows and whys of it.

 

Learning to accept my shortcomings and embracing them with less dissappointment towards myself.

 

A better relationship with myself overall.

 

My promotion at work to management, and the nice big office + benefits that came with it and having a job that I absolutley love.

 

Being able to hold onto my property through the economic crisis.

 

Adding a good chunk to my retirement fund.

 

Those are a few. Thanks E for a lovely thread.

[no_clue]

Officialy got out of the court system after 5 years

 

Lost my virginity

[Gold Pile]

My career took a hit, then I rebounded to a higher level.

 

I made good (to date) moves in my largest retirement account.

 

I dated an ex, I feel that speaks well of my bedroom skills.

I landed another lady that I've been working on for a couple of years.

 

I began (will be finished in a few weeks) the process of cutting a negative person out of my life.

 

I've become more organized.

 

I returned to peak fitness after a 2 month break.

 

I've been nice to people that I usually wouldn't be so nice too. Even people with faults have feelings and usually don't mean to be so rude.

 

I've helped countless people with my popular thread in the fitness section.

 

I've done better by older relatives.

 

I reached out and hurt 3 old enemies. I looked inward and let 2 old enemies live in peace.

 

I finally found that pea under my matress, it was causing me such discomfort,

[johan]

Recovered from knee surgery.

 

Built a fence.

 

Built a wall.

 

Got a new roof.

 

Excelled at work.

 

Went on some dates.

 

Supported a friend.

Also accelerated my rate of saving for the future. Not sure retirement is something I'm planning for.

 

Had no pee/mattress issues.

[Star Gazer]

Lots of people tell me that I deserve an awesome 2011 because 2010 was so sh*tty for me. I seem to have forgotten how sh*tty it was.

 

My biggest accomplishment of 2010 was surviving and recovering from a devastating breakup, learning a lot about myself and my needs in the process, and took away a great sense of optimism along with it.

 

I went on some dates, and wasn't really hurt when none of them worked out.

 

I FINALLY landed my dream job (in my field, anyway), and although it included a pay cut, I couldn't be happier professionally.

 

I got my pre-exBF fitness back and then some, and deadlifted 190 pounds.

 

I skiied a particular difficult run, in deep powder, and did it gracefully.

 

I made a great new friend, and strengthened relationships with several other friends.

 

I'd say 2010 wasn't all that bad.

[Kamille]
