Reflections

2007 was a pivotal time for me.

  • It tuaght me about loving, forgiveness, patience and humility. I learned that there is NOTHING a good coat of paint or 2 hours sobbing in the arms of your best friend can't solve.
  • It taught me that there will always be dissapointments, that others will move in and of your life fluidly, that change is inevidable and best left unchallenged and that my emotional capacity to withstand pain and experience joy is far greater than even I had previously imagined.
  • Somehow, I regained something I'd thought I'd lost out there, somewhere along the way. I realized that the quality of love that surrounds me is magnificent. That I am magnificent, in my own way. That I am loved and capable of loving, deeply. That my spirit is strong.
  • And finally, I learned to trust my intuition, no matter how much it hurts or brings forth fears. And never to give anyone that power over me again, ever.

For 2008, in no particular order:

  • Secure some type of part time work
  • Get finances in order
  • Retreat at Shambhala and visit The Great Stupa
  • Strive toward balanced health, mind, body, spirit
  • Go to Washington to reconnect with the water and visit my dearly missed loved ones
  • Watch "Bridgette Jones" and "The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy" on the bad days
  • Take long walks with my dog and my favorite human (Max)
  • Join a book club (ha, found one already. I'm ahead of the game!)
  • Read. A lot.
  • Rest. A lot.
  • Eat hummus and pita often
  • Go on at least once date with at least one really great person, but avoid any and all silly love drama's
  • Oh yes, just avoid drama's and complications of all kinds would be ideal
  • Begin hugmongous transition to .Net at work, which....will probably take up my life totally for quite some time once I get there, if I get there....?
  • Ignore the extremes, EVERYTHING in moderation :)
  • Take hot, uninterrupted baths when I feel like it
  • Visit the Denver Aquariam

That's a pretty ambitous start......
