The year in review....
40-something years ago today, I entered the world. I was too tiny, so they put me in a plastic box until I gained enough weight to go home with my mommy and daddy…
What a long strange trip it’s been.
This past year could be considered a blur – a blip on the landscape of my existence – but a lot of cool ‘things’ happened and I managed to ‘capture’ much here a la blog.
Last year around the month of my birthday….
I found out I only had anemia, instead of cancer.
I rediscovered my love of literature and music.
I wrote my ‘Carnivale’ stories.
I learned a hard lesson about letting go – especially of my son AND my daughter – but also of the driftwood/deadwood that was my former marriage.
I went ‘home again’ to Pennsylvania and reconnected with family.
I dated more successfully but basically came to the conclusion that all dating sites were evil and pretty much gave up on ‘dating’ in general (it’s like giving up on dieting only different).
I got more politically involved.
My Yoga took off as a career. I became professional and was interviewed and had my picture put in the local paper (a bit overwhelming for me).
In the months that passed I became more comfortable in my own skin. I realized that I did not need to ‘date’ and that was OK. I stopped (in essence) looking. I became closer to my other friends (Thank God/dess! And I say thanks for you guys all the time). I concentrated more on my Yoga and building my career toward that end. I let go of things with my ex. I found my life again. I found my voice again. And on June 24, 2006 I found the love of my life (Again – I’d have to say but that might creep some of you out a bit).
2006 was an interesting year, and certainly a lot of fun. There have been a lot of lessons and I hope I’ve learned them well. I hope I have a lot more learning and adventure coming my way.
To all of you that have sent me b-day wishes already today thanks. Especially C2 – your card was hysterical/LMAO – um...er...are you trying to tell me something???
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!
Love to you all.
