Last Years Recap
it’s funny, I don’t make resolutions, and most of the time I don’t, I didn’t think I did last year, but I did…and yes, I kept it. I was determined to get out of that hellish state and get my life back…and while it (my life) may still be somewhat off track, it’s getting better all the time :wink
So, it’s that time of year when we reflect on things that have happened to us over the last year, and I’m human, I tend to do the same, it’s human nature I suppose to reflect on the passing year and what could have been done differently.
I try to live my life without regrets, and for the most part I have succeeded, after all, everything in my past helped shape me into the person I am today, I wouldn’t be ME, if not for the events that took place to shape who I am, and where I am today…
this does not mean that I look back and don’t wish some things could have been done differently, but for the most part, it was out of my hands, as it was the actions of others that directed the course of events, but you still wonder if there is something that you could have done or said differently to alter the outcome…I am extremely thankful that friendships were not permanently damaged when all was said and done.
If you’re wondering what brought on that bout of rambling, suffice it to say that I was rereading archives this morning looking for the above links :lol
My hopes for this year, are for my friends to find the happiness they deserve, for the insane person in the white house to come to his senses and see that we’re not looking for anything special, just equal, actually I’d rather all these ‘questionable voting results’ declare a new winner…but I’m certain that will be hushed up quickly.
I look forward to getting me back on track, taking care of things I need to get done, so M and I can move forward in our lives…
:group_smile

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2004: well, something I already knew was reinforced…the best family is not always the one you’re born into, sometimes, its the one you create yourself
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
“I’m a bitch, I’m a lover,
I’m a child, I’m a mother,
I’m a sinner, I’m a saint,
I do not feel ashamed,
I’m your hell, I’m your dream,
I’m nothing in between,
You know you wouldn’t want it any other way
I’m a bitch, I’m a tease,
I’m a goddess, on my knees,
When you hurt, when you suffer,
I’m an angel under cover
I’m a nun, I’m revived
Can’t say I’m not alive
You know I wouldn’t want it any other way”
