PIC OF THE DAY!
Photo prompt=NEW YEAR! Here’s to a fresh, clean slate. I love leaving this space for pretty much anything that comes my way. I can’t wait for 2010! And yes, I realize that there is just a twinge of blue to this color. It’s barely there.
TODAY…
1. Thankful for opportunities for new beginnings.
2. Thankful that Cindy is coming over tonight to celebrate with me.
3. Thankful that it’s going to be a fantastic evening of reflection and renewal.
4. Thankful for all the lessons I learned in the 00s. Here’s to using them to help me make better decisions.
5. Again, and a million times over, I’m thankful for OD and you.
Hello! And welcome to THE LAST DAY OF THE 00s!! I’m so happy this day has come because I simply can’t wait to start off on a very clean slate!
*sigh*
Including love. Hm. I am getting a slightly weird vibe from CC now. In fact, no real vibe at all. I realize that it’s only been a day and 1/2, I also know that he has felt a shift in me. He pursued like crazy for a while, and now that I’m receptive, I can feel him take a step or two back. Yes, I’m reading that ALL from one day. But I can feel it. Nothing to do but take a step back myself.
Funny, this dance. I don’t like it, but I guess that’s what keeps things interesting, no?
Tonight, I’m going to do the yoga thing and then the party afterward. Cindy is coming over and she’s going to spend the night. I’m really looking forward to that. We’re going to be pretty mellow, I guess. But there’s also the bar downstairs if we feel like celebrating more. We’ll play that part by ear.
What a decade it’s been, eh?
In a nutshell, had couple of great jobs, moved around quite a bit, traveled the world several times over, fell in love a few times, got engaged, tried to get pregnant for the first time in my life, lost my fiance, lost the great job…
It’s been a wild, wild ride! I wouldn’t trade any of it. All if it has been important.
But. It’s time for change. It’s time for newness. It’s time for things to work out for a while. It’s time to do things differently. I spent a good decade trying to figure it out. If the 00s were about learning a bunch of lessons, then the 10s should be used putting those lessons to very good use. I’m really looking forward to it. Really.
And how often does one get to say they have a perfectly clean slate? Not too often. My life could go in ANY direction that I take it, right? I have no job right now, so nothing holding me back from moving or taking up something new. I have no boyfriend/husband, so no drama there. I have no children, so nothing keeping me from using my time fully for myself. And I’m not looking at any of this as negative. I’m looking at all of it as opportunity and possibility.
I’ve said it a million time and I’ll say it again: I’m very fortunate.
Sure, I get depressed over certain things from time to time (and I definitely write about it here), but for every negative there are at least three positives, and I have to think about that more often going forward.
Now. I need a plan, Stan.
Let’s start fleshing this out, shall we? We can come back and fill in the blanks later.
1. Job. Figure that out. Right now working on several independent projects that will hopefully gel into something else. Priority 1. MUST get things more organized in the coming year. I can’t wait to start on Arthur’s gig.
2. Health/Body. I realize now that I am in a constant state of fluctuation. I’m in a more plump state than I’d like to be at this juncture. Yoga Man says that your age doesn’t matter in the scheme of having a healthy body…that it’s all quantum physics…movement, energy, etc. I happen to agree and know this to be true firsthand. I have an idea of a plan. Now it is important to put that into play. No excuses.
3. Love. Illusive. I can’t force it, but I think that there are some things I might be able to do to ease this along. I’m no easy nut to crack (heh), and I know I’ve made it harder to crack since I’ve been reinforcing my shell, if you will. I’m a bit smarter, but I sure am harder (and I don’t necessarily mean stronger). Scars are not pretty, but they are now part of me. I have to learn how to work around them. Perhaps camouflage them with something beautiful elsewhere…oh look, sparkly things!!
That’s it! Those are the three big things I need to work on in the coming year. Again, I will flesh this out in coming entries, but for now I have this part in writing. It’s a start.
Okay. Got to get a bunch of things done before my lunch with a new friend and then Cindy coming over. Need to get some bubbly! Where is CC (my bubbly pusher) when I neeeeeeeed him??!!
Love you. A million and one times over. I LOVE YOU!!
Let the newness begin!!!!
