2015 has turned out to be a much better year than I thought it was going to be. Someone was a little negative after 2014, that's for sure. Despite not always being optimistic about the possibilities in 2015, I achieved a lot, and I am proud of myself for the highs but disappointed in the lows.A year in review.

Wow. What a great read. I finished Yes Please in three days. I wish it didn't end. Amy is a very good writer, very good. Reading autobiographies "celebrities" write are usually eye opening, but Amy's was really opening. She shared her life enough to make her relateable without telling all.
Quote for the New Year.

Many of my favorite quotes are from Ralph Waldo Emerson. I thought this would be a good one to start the new year with:

Pizza challenge: 1, Mandaa, 0.
December 17 2015
Yup, I lost the pizza challenge. I competed with my good ole friend Marty in attempts to defeat the Big Kahuna, a 29 inch pizza with three toppings of our choice. He was starting to get sick from all the grease (I warned him about those pepperoni's!) and had to stop. I don't blame him though. It was worth the shot.
That item is officially fulfilled from my bucket list. No more official food challenges for me. I learned that sometimes money and risk is worth it when you want to try something new or reach an accomplishment in life. No, this was not the best way to have more appreciation for how capable I am of trying things others can't, but it was a good experience. I will never eat pizza again, sadly.
We asked friends that attended to help us pay. And when some did, we donated double, rather than paying them back, to a local charity. That was very nice. I also learned that I have great support in my life, as I have been seeing a lot this year, and I know that when I attempt more logical challenges in my life, I will have that backbone and smiling face I'll need throughout.

I ran outside. It's December. In Southeastern Ohio.
WHAT?
Today is going to be a good day.
'Yoga Bitch' by Suzanne Morrison.
December 10, 2015
I finished another book! Not sure why it took me so long to get through this one, but it did. Another autobiography to add to my bucket list. Woot woot!
Anyways, this was a good read. Yoga Bitch: One Woman's Quest to Conquer Skepticism, Cynicism, and Cigarettes on the Path to Enlightenment is a book I know my yoga friends would enjoy (cough, cough: Sally and Emily). Suzanne goes to Bali for two months and is on the path to earning enough hours for a teaching certification. She follows a different lifestyle than the one she was living in the United States for the two months overseas, and man did she run into some interesting situations.

Thanksgiving on the east side.
December 1, 2015
I'm currently in bed trying to recover from some bug I caught from my little vacation or once I returned. No one wants to know the details of what I've been going through the past two days. Just... icky. Sad face.
Anywho, my Thanksgiving was quite fantastic. I went to visit some of my mom's side of the family that lives in the east side of PA. I haven't seen them since high school! It was a breath of fresh air.
