A week ago I asked a few friends, when do you give up and walk away? My answer to my own question was right in front of me, if I even have to ask then its time to walk away. However, I have to keep telling myself it's not about giving up but about learning from the past and moving on to what I truly deserve. Yes, the act is still emotional for me but not as emotional as continuing to give to a person who continues to point out what I don't do or give anything back to me.
Moving on includes new roles at work, renovating parts of my house, traveling, learning new things, dating the right people and focusing on building the healthiest body/mind I have ever had.
New roles at work: I am one of 12 managers in the company that has been put on a team titled OnWard Council , our purpose is to elevate the business on all levels (business, community, technology & partners) and trouble shoot and solve obstacles. This opportunity is allowing me to work with our senior leadership team in Seattle, which is where I want to end up in 5 or less years.
Renovating: finally having my backyard Redone so that I can entertain out there, crash has a safer place to play and I can start growing a garden for my own produce. Beyond excited, plus gonna finish my guest room by April and other small details.
Traveling: Due to my new role at work I get an extra week of vacation so I am gonna take advantage. I have never been oversees so that is my next adventure to save for, plus heading to Cali in a few weeks to see one of my best friends who has become a strong anchor for in life.
Learning: Years ago I tried to teach myself guitar but gave up so gonna attempt again, plus gonna teach myself Italian, because of my culture.
Dating: This word terrifies me because it truly is a scary world out there as you have learned from previous posts. However, you have to face fears and learn to trust again so I have already started a new attempt. I have been on two dates so far with the same guy who seems too good to be true and I haven't felt this way since Chris, which has been almost 4 years. This guy is career focused like me, volunteers like me, takes care of his body, continues to set new goals to reach in his career, opens my door and compliments me , so will keep you all posted on the journey this adventure takes me on.
Health/Mind: Running has become a love for me and gonna stick to being more consistent with my weekly runs as well as extend them each month for longer distance. I am also gonna start incorporating weight lifting again which I haven't done since my softball conditioning days, so bring on the muscle.
I would like to add some more usefully knowledges tips to my blog, one will be cooking recipes suited to couple servings. Would love to hear what everyone else's would like to see own my blog.
