January 1, 2012 Day One

As of today, I am officially among the millions of Americans now classified as unemployed. I am collateral damage of an acquisition; I worked in corporate offices in the Northeast, and the new corporate offices are located in the South, so my job, along with many others have been given to the folks in the South. 
I have known for sometime that this was going to take place.  That did not make accepting it any easier. But it did give me time to think, and I have come to the conclusion, that in order for me not to slip into some kind of funk, becoming one of those people who trash everyone associated with the takeover company, and generally falling into that category of people who see the glass as half full, every day I will write on this blog. 365 blogs, and although unpleasant things may take place in my life during the year, I will always aim to be positive, but will definitely end the blog with a positive statement.
For 2012, there will  be 365 posts, and each will end positively, and no cheating by saying, "I'm positive I hate Brussels Sprouts", or anything similar.
And to add to this self challenge, hubby and I have decided that this is the year to shed our 30 year build up of poundage that seems to have found its way around his middle and my arse. This could be challenging indeed! 
Here goes!

January 1, 2012 - I am happy that Tom Brady led my beloved Patriots to a victory over the Buffalo Bills today to become the #1 seed in the AFC East.

(Phew, only 364 more to go)
