That trip to the beach was definitely what I needed. Five days of nothing to worry about, nowhere to have to go, nobody to have to call, no work, no obligations - straight relaxation. Lots of time for thinking and getting things straightened out in my head. Alan and I were talking, I decided my head is like a hospital. Never a dull moment, things always coming in and out. I even have triage, more important issues get dealt with and others get kicked to the side until I have time for them. We watched a lot of movies, most of which I slept through. I improved my Halo skills (though they are still not up to par), we played trivial pursuit. We cooked, we went out to eat, we went for a walk on the beach. We laughed, gosh I needed to laugh. We went to savannah and took a ghost tour. I feel so good.
I finally finished A Prayer for Owen Meany. I have had that book for entirely too long without finishing it, but hey its done now. It was really good, though I feel like my limited knowledge of politics made me miss some of the political jabs that the author made. I was thinking about the day I bought the book. That day I wouldn't have ever imagined that I would be the person I am today. I couldn't have guessed in a million years that my life would be what it is today.
Same goes for this year really. I layed in my bed last night for a long time thinking about last new years eve and what I was doing. I feel as though I've gained a lot of years this year. It has been a year of a lot of changes, most that I wouldn't have ever predicited. Some were welcome and some weren't, but nothing can be done now so I must take this new year and make it better then the last. My resolutions this year are pretty personal, so I won't be writing about most of them, but I think they'll be good for me. Its time to turn over a new leaf, re-evaluate some things, switch around my priorities. I embarassed about a lot of things that are behind me. Though I never thought I'd say this, its the truth. However, its the past and it can't be changed so I must learn from it, pack up my baggage and keep on keepin' on.
2005, watch out!
