Labor of Love

Even though I've been treading water for the past year financially, there are a few things to celebrate:

1. One of my student loans has been paid off;
2. My total student loan debt is now under 10k!;
3. I've lost weight like I set out to do, and even though I've gained some of it back, I will never give up;
4. B has successfully completed law school and has earned a spot at a prestigious firm, although his start date has been deferred to October 2010 because of the economy; and
5. In the meantime, they're paying him to work for a non-profit, which means more us-time than we expected.

I'm excited for the future. I want to continue taking care of myself and make a habit of being forgiving of myself and others. I know it isn't new years, but it's never too soon for some new goals.
