2005: How's It Going?

Quietly optomistic - there is a plan. There is a fall back plan.
The plan is working, so far. The fall back plan is in the drawer.

And may it stay there.


-05 just got a little brighter today. Met people, made friends, got a job. And spring is creeping up north finally.

I hate to compare from year to year. Not sure if I have a real good reason for this, but my gut feeling is always that I'm better for the things I've lived through. Last year was probably the most difficult year of my life and yet I feel as though it was also the year that I grew the most as an individual. I have been on the down side of moods most of this year so far, but I think it's because the past three months seem more like a time-warp/transitional time. Winter lingered longer than usual. We've been drowning with rain for months and most details in my life are finally getting sorted. I was ultra down at the beginning of this week, feeling lonely and in limbo and then something happened. The sun came out, the temperature rose a good 25 degrees consistently, the trees are budding, the birds have returned singing and my smile is back.

I'm typically very in tune to seasons and they have a big impact on how I deal and feel. I think many Americans have been reeling from the political discord swirling around us and I haven't heard of many places that weren't plagued by this winter that's dragging on. At any rate, I think I'm the only member logged into the AH at this moment and I felt like rambling since I've been buried in school work since the first week of January, but I think 2005 is just getting started and we all need a little wind in our hair, sun on our faces and hope in our hearts.

The best word that I can think of to tell of this year so far would be Challenging. one person here knows why. I would also like to take this space to offer apology for allowing my poor handling of the challenging days to bleed into the occasional post.
 
If next month goes as planned, then 2005 will have started out better than 2004 for sure. If not, it'll bound to be another sucky year.
 
Last year and the year before were the worst years of my life. Somehow, though, I feel a lot better knowing that I got through them.
This year's been pretty nondescript so far - nothing terrible, nothing fantastic. Every once in a while my ex resurfaces and begs me to get back into a relationship with her. Fortunately there's something inside me that just can't go back to that dark place, and sure enough just as I've been wondering whether I should or shouldn't, she's gone and done something awful that makes me realise I'm lucky to be away from that shit.
I've been saying for years now that my life needs to change direction, and I've finally realised that sitting around and waiting for something to happen doesn't bring the change that I need. So from now on I'm taking control -
1. By the summer, I'll have a new sports car.
2. After that I'm changing careers and slashing my income by 50% so that I can get into the job I've always wanted.
3. I had a brief relationship at the start of the year that didn't work out. Now I want the freedom of being single for the rest of 2005.
4. This is the year I'm going to get a story published :D

So although nothing's happened yet, I'm going to make sure it does by the end of 2005 :p
 
So far 2005 looks to be a whole lot better than 2004.
Touch wood!!!

I think I managed to get out of being fired.
The new job has given me back my joy in working.
I'm writing again.
My son is doing fine.
My university career is going great, I'll probably finish within two years instead of four.

The only thing missing is a steady lover. But I keep looking, and dating.

:D
