Personal Reflection on 2010...

This was actually a FB note I did earlier this afternoon & forgot to re-do it here, too...til just now. Heh. *shrugs* I'm sick...gimme some slack!! ;-p



Overall...2010 was MUCH, MUCH better than 2009!! *thanks the gods for that* But...2010...had it's moments, too. *shrugs* Here's my own personal review...

  • Many, many changes at work, both bad & good. Most days still remain a "challenge" but we're still hanging in there, trying to make it work...
  • For the 1st time in...2 years (was 10 years before that)...I have someone in my daily life that I've grown to consider one of my best friends. You take for granted your friendships until you realize you're living your life in your own secluded little world & don't have anybody to laugh & joke with at any given moment of the day, or to go hang out with at a moment's notice. I'm very happy to say I have that again. :-)
  • A few different attempts at "love". Some were more acted upon than others but, in the end...I'm left with the same answer I've always thought...love is a sly devil that only complicates an already troubled existence...
  • Speaking of LOVE...the summer...& December brought about the re-emergence of past loves. All 3 are entering their 4th year of being...even though it's not been solid...EVER. My feelings haven't changed (at the core) but...I'm pretty sure the last sentence from above will work it's way into here as well. *sighs* COMPLICATED doesn't even begin to describe these 3!! :-(
  • I acquired a 2nd kitty. My Sebastian's own sister, Sheba. It took MONTHS for her to warm up to me but now I can't imagine not having her! :-)
  • This year marked my 1st experiences with something I've always been aware of but was never around til now. lol And I like it well enough...I just don't partake of it very often. *giggles*
  • There's been a lot of sickness this year. :/ Allergies, colds, back trouble, migraines, toothaches, earaches, 2 bouts of food poisoning, not to mention the abyss stress & depression can throw you into!! :-(
  • Joined a book club for the 1st time in my life! Even though I don't get the chance to read as often as I want to, book club is the one day a month that I look forward to!! :D
  • This year saw the addition of my 4th tattoo...that means SO much to me!! And actually may have a LOT to do with why I find "love" so troubling...
  • In November, I witnessed the loss of a special kitty...Schuster. The oldest of the book store cats...& who was my FAVORITE from Day 1. His loss was as horrible to endure as the loss of any human I'm close to would've been. I still think about him daily...
  • The BIG 3!! The 3 holidays that mean the most to me...this year...were...experiences that traveled the emotional spectrum. Halloween: had fun dressing up & hanging out with friends but I regret the "love interest" at the time. However, I was closer to the past loves...so it evened out. Thanksgiving: good time with family & friends but "love" had to end up ruining it. Xmas: BLEH!! Just allllll around...woulda rather someone had shot me! :/ Now, it's New Year's...the next runner-up to my favorite holidays...& I'm sick (AGAIN!). *sighs*

So here's where I say...MOST of 2010 was bearable. But...2011...HAS to get better!!!!!! It has to...we've started a trend of improvement since '09! *smiles* BRING IT ON...I'm sooooo freaking ready!! ;-)
