To the New Year.
What are my goals for the new year:
Personal: Continue to be happy and keep walking my road of coming out. Yup, sometime this year, most likely face to face and when I travel back to see my family, I'm going to come out to my family. I'll also be prepared to have to move on on my adventure of a vacation as I realize it may not go well. After all, me being a Buddhist (a pagan in their eyes, and still in love with the Goddess and the energy that is the earth...) my dad did say: At least she isn't a Lesbian.. ::shrug::
Educational: Go back to school in the fall to take creative classes. I'm not really caring about completing my previous degree program, but I want to get into creative developement for the company I would for.
My novel: REWRITE and get that thing out there! I have a massive database of information and 300k written for things that happened before the book actually starts, it's time to get moving forward.
Work: I'd like to get into management again. Of course this means a possible move, but hey, I'm all for a location with the same pay coming in and the cost of living cut by a third.
Conquering Fears: I'd like to work on getting over my fear of not being accepted as who I am and needing to make other people happy. I know who I am and that hasn't changed, it just means that I need to live by my attitude of If you don't like me as I am, take a hike or build your damn bridge adn get over it. I also want to push my comfort zone and be more social, and that's a bit tough for me.
What about relationships? I'd like to get out more, meet new people and have some fun. I'm a weekend woman now which means at least Saturday and Sunday nights mean I can have a social life. Preferably I'd find a coffee shop or a book shop that I can sit and hang in and work on my writing and maybe meet some new people, but I'll have to start out small becausee I'm not someone that really does well in huge crouds anymore. And if something happens and I meet the right woman for me, great! ... if not.. then I was looking too hard.
What about your health? I want to go 90% Raw and living foods long enough to kick diabetes (and maybe stay that way.. if I'm up to it.) I haven't been a well behaved diabetic, and while my weight is happy, I still feel kinda sluggish and really don't want to rely on the drugs for the rest of my life.
Anything else?
My bike: I will buy my bike this summer: Isn't it pretty, and no it's not a Harley! And once I get her, I'll need everyone around to help me name her.
Finish my legal struggle with the Marine and NOT pay him Palimony!
And here's to a lot less DRAMA for everyone as well as a wonderfully blessed new year!!
And for fun...(since I haven't posted one before and I'm feeling mighty positive...) look I'm smiling!To the new year. Look, I'm actually smiling!
