New

Well here it is -- a new year.  2013.  I saw on Facebook today that it is the first year since 1987 with four different digits in it.  That's true, I checked.

I read through some old writings the other day.  On my 33rd birthday, I wrote how I was so excited because it was divisible by 11.  You don't get very many birthday years divisible by 11.

Well this year it's 37.  37 is prime.  I'd like to think this will be one of my prime years. 

2011 was not a great year.  It began with my sisters split up and divorce.  Next, I learned the man I was practically engaged to was already married with children. It took a few weeks to say goodbye to him and so I had a bit of an affair.  Not one of my proud moments.  My dad was diagnosed with brain cancer. I started recovery and therapy, spent 6 months at my parents house taking care of my dad, and finally my dad passed away on Dec. 30, 2011. 

2012 was better, but not great.  Began with a funeral, then a terrible year at work. I continued therapy, and actually started food therapy as well.  I finally quit my job after a battle.  I found out my hip has some issues and will need a hip replacement. My mom has been seriously struggling and there have been some significant family struggles. 

2013 - what will you hold for me? 

I can tell you what I want it be........

1.  I want to find a job that I love.
2.  I want to start dating again.
3.  I want to make physical activity a bigger part of my life.
4.  I want to eat out less and make better quality food.
5.  I want to live alone again, and not with my sister anymore.
6.  I want to be more organized.
7.  I want to think of other people before I think of myself.
8.  I want to spend the entire year sober.
9.  I want to build better relationships with my family. 
10. I want to craft again -- make things and use my crafty stuff.
11. I want to take a trip just for me by myself.
12. I want to build bonds with my nephews and my niece.
13. I want to make more music... sing, play, arrange, publish, all of it.

Thirteen things for 2013.

What I really want right now though -- is for my head to drain of all this congestion and to not have  cold.  So off to bed I go early... hoping tomorrow I'll feel better.  Much, much better.
