Ruminations on a Year

December 31, 2003 Written by site admin

2003 has been “berry, berry good” to me. Yes, it has.

And here’s why:

What I’ve lost:

  • 32 pounds (Yahoooo!)
  • all my illusions about someone (a good thing indeed)
  • days spent “working” in a call center
  • What I’ve gained:

  • a new wardrobe (again!) – size 10 jeans rock!
  • A profound sense of my own “okay-ness” no matter who or what comes into my life (or leaves it)
  • The knowledge that I can take chaos and make order of it (re: work). I
    can also take order and make it chaos but that’s a different story!
  • This past year I met Eddie Izzard, saw Wayne Dyer, and became a certified Washington Caps fan.

    I saw the return of someone I never thought I’d see again, made new friends, worked hard at improving some relationships, taking off the masks I wear and generally, trying to be a better me. My faith in the guiding force of the Universe never faltered and was rewarded time and again. I truly do understand “intention” and how to ask for what you need from the Universe. It may not be how you want it or even expect it but it can come, just the same.
    Karma can be a bitch (oh, don’t I know this!) but she is fair.

    What am I looking toward in 2004? I’ve decided that the theme for this year is (ta-da!) Words into Action! It is time to stop yapping about stuff I want to do and just do it (dammit!)

    And so I shall.

    Thanks for reading my ‘blog this past year or so. It’s a cathartic experience
    for me to write about things and I am glad to have this forum.

    Happy new year! new year.jpg

      Congratulations on your successful 2003!

      We’re going to try the South Beach diet starting Monday. Will let you know how it goes.

      2003 was a challenging year for me, particularly with my Mom’s health problems. I’m hoping 2004 will be better but quite likely as my parents’ health declines it will continue to be stressful.

      We did get to NYC to see a couple shows. That started off the year on a positive note!
