We are faced with another year, and looking back on it I realize that there is a lot that has happened over this last year. Accomplishments that I have managed to complete over the last 365 days. 1.) I am a Microsoft Certified Professional Developer for Enterprise Applications. 2.) I have managed to complete the writing of my first novel ( I still have to do the editing) 3.) I have donated clothing.  For me this is huge,  I am now getting to the point where I have to get rid of clothing that no longer fits.  I didn't lose a lot of weight this year (-6 lbs for the year),  but feel that I have proven to myself that I am capable of keeping off the weight and maintaining. 4.) I have adopted a dog.  This has been one of the most challenging things that I have been through.  Kiddo is a hand full. All in all I was able to mark eleven of the items off my list that I had set out to accomplish over the next couple of years.  That means that I have about ninety to go in the next two years.  Looks like I have my hands full.
