Looking at where I am today in regards to where I was 365 days ago is interesting. I was on a Disney Cruise Line ship enjoying my job, enjoying a relationship that i thought was going to last and grow. I was sailing around the Caribbean living a dream. I'm now back home in Dallas having been through 6 months of job searching and soul searching. I worked hard to find my job and am happy to say I enjoy every day so far. I work with good people and have opportunity to grow with each move I make.
So much has come down the pipeline recently it's crazy to fathom. From 1 part time job to 1 part time job and 1 temporary job. Then 2 part time jobs and 1 full time job. I'm running like my feet are on fire...so much to do and so much to accomplish and learn!

I am now almost back to being the old me. The focused me with the good outlook on life. I lost her for a while and couldn't for the life of me find her. She's baaaaaaaaaack! I'm looking forward and excited about all the wonders that life has to hold for me. I'm excited about the eventual prospect of finding my partner and having a family. I'm excited about my finances getting more in order...I'm excited!!

It's a new dawn, a new day and I'm feeling good!! Well not really good at the moment, but overall I am doing really well. I have a new job with crazy new and fun people. I am making an impact already and looking forward to going to work each day. Hopefully that will continue and I can stay focused and motivated.
I am about to start my quote notebook again since I can't find the original notebook from Ms. Gages class in highschool. How crazy is that anyway. I have a quote notebook that I have kept since I had to for Ms. Gages. I love quotes and history and can't wait to get the grad school thing figured out. I am ready to complete my degree so that I can continue to work towards the ultimate goal of starting my own non-profit for youth who have expereinced loss. I have met a large number of people who have similiar hopes and dreams as I do and can't wait to get my life all settled in.
So many questions, so little money and so little time...at least at the moment. FOCUS ASHLEY...keep your eye on the ball and hit it out of the park.
Have a great day!

Alrighty peeps. I realize it's been AGES since I have written. In the time since January 31st I've gotten a job or two and now I have 3 jobs. I know... CRAZY and I should quit one but I love them all and right now the money that I am making in addition to my full time salary is going to help me catch up on some payments that I couldn't make in the past 6 months.
I am currently at a great place in life. I am ready to move forward and continue to grow as a human being. I am 30 and feel every bit of it. My body aches and my mind is analyzing every aspect of my future. Suddenly the future doesn't seem so far away. I have found some great friends and am branching out but also getting back to the things that I love and are important to me. My focus RIGHT NOW is on work and the other stuff is just that... STUFF. I am ready to move forward in my life and am focused on the goals at hand. This 3oth yaer is about NEW BEGINNINGS and I am finding that it is going to be a year of new beginnings for sure. As I said, I am in a new job for sure and and am hoping to continue to grow relationship wise and and live every moment as though it is my last one.
I feel like I have found someone that I can grow with but he has yet to realize it (which sucks). He's a GREAT man and I have so much fun with him and am able to let go completely but he is holding on to his bachelorhood like it's a buoy floating in the middle of the ocean. Oh well, thankfully life has found a way to keep me occupied and not worried about what's going on in my world on the personal side. I have plenty going on with the jobs and am truly truly enjoying all that work has to offer.
The people that I work with are a bit crazy and off kilter but I am starting to love 'em the same. I am back with my Black Daisy family after 2 years of cruising and nothing. Had my first asthma attack in eight or nine years yesterday. My boy was really pissed at me and I would say it still is. I am going to have to do a better job of keeping an eye on me sot hat I do not wear myself down.
I've got weight loss goals that I would like to reach. I have gained 25 pounds since returning from cruise life. Boo on that !! Working on getting back into a routine ...working out, eating better, being active and outside. Summer and spring are a great time for me with activity except for the allergy asthma thing. Some years are better than others but this year I think the allergyt hing is going to be an issue while trying to play. I am goin to push through though and lose the weight that I have gained and then some ... hopefully.
So much positive thinking in this post. Hopefully I can uphold that train of thought and be successful in all the areas of my job.
