The Aughts for Naught and Moving on in '10

Dec 28, 2009 14:01

I had thought about writing about how much 2000-2009 really really sucked. I mean death of family and loved ones, illness and surgery, betrayal and heartbreak, violations and lack of trust, struggle and strife....yeah. There were many people and things that may have had good moments but all told they brought more bad and pain than good and ( Read more... )

re: Goal #10 - What about something health-oriented, like "Drink at least 4 glasses of water a day for at least three months straight" or something to that effect? Or, in keeping with getting out more and having more adventures, maybe something like "find 12 (one a month) new walking trails and walk them". This wouldn't be limited to Chicago, obviously, since you'll be travelling more, you could go on nature hikes or whatever in the new places you see.

I really like both of those. I have been on a mission to drink more water so that might be a good one. I also really like the walking trails idea as it encourages me to get out more.

hmmm....
Wonderful suggestions. I'll ponder them

*hugs*

I couldn't agree more. Though, sadly I have to say that was my most defining life span thus far.

Also, it is sad (to me) that during your 688/club fetish/The Chamber period we never really ever met.

I don't know how much it defined me.
Then again, if it did, I know I have the power to redefine myself.

It is sad we didn't meet sooner. Usually at 688 I was on the door (and the rag doll painted on the front of the DJ booth is me.*grin*) and the Fetish days I was onstage or hiding in the dressing rooms. My marriage kept me in so much darkness and the Fetish performances were really a part of that.

But we have met now. And I need to come for a visit. :-)
Let's talk times (in general of course) and make this work. Jan-April I am off work Tues-Thurs and can make trades to stretch that a bit. I may also have a week of vacation to play with.

And to add to it by repeating what I told my sister last night. "20% of therapy is to fix yourself. The other 80% is learning how to stay sane around the world of people who are not in therapy and SHOULD BE!" *now for my next joke...

I like to try to see the good in hard times so I can relate. I like the whole do more things I like but don't do enough goal...

I have a lot of the same goals.

One personally for me is to try to learn something new. Not just take a class, but to explore a new school of philosophy, or perhaps a new facet of spiritually (for example, I'm brushing up on my Buddhism this year), or just something in general. I'm trying to keep my mind sharp as I get older by trying to expand my horizons a bit and find out about something I didn't know much about before :)

Man, I need a 2010 icon LOL
