2006
It's official 2006 is here!
2006, where do I begin...
Just when I thought life had dealt me all I could take, I got tested again with Summer. It is true what doesn't kill you... ONLY makes you stronger. I have no regrets, I truly believe everything you go through is what makes you uniquely you!!!
I cut back on working and school and started living life again in 2006. I started to appreciate being a mother again, enjoying the "mommie moments" and being thankful for them.
I started reaching out, to old friends and made a few new ones along the way. I got to know more about the lives that make them who they are and even learned to appreciate them for who they are! You can't just like the good in a person that is simply too easy... You must learn to LOVE the bad in every person that is what makes them THEM... And for that I would not change a soul.
I have come to embrace getting older, I look at life from a whole different world view. I have enjoyed embarking on new things and setting new goals for myself. I found a new passion for painting, I rediscovered my ability for drawing. I learned it is OK to go out and have dinner by myself and enjoy a glass of wine. I discovered I LOVE psychology and found a new calling professionaly...
I found seeking the good in every situation actually sneaks up on you and before you know it... You are no longer seeking to find the good but you now find it hard to see the bad...
I had a great New Year's Eve, dinner and hanging out with new friends and old. I often get teased at being naive or as my good friend Ross use to say... "Oh Jen... with his *tisk,tisk, tisk... eh I forget the exact wording but I can still see him standing over the mantle with candles burning as he lectures me on the differences between secular music and Christian music (which I would listen attentively as I was in awe) but as he would try to tell me how the world was at times jaded and bitter, I would toss out lame one liners implying how great life is and meant to be... He would look at me as a professor would a freshmen during a private lecture kind of "pat me on the head as to say... awe my young innocence child... to the world" ok, so I missed harassing him still.. heh (Happy New Year Ross -=) But you all get the point....
I still have my jaded moments.... I am human I get annoyed still being the "single one" but the moment passes and life goes and life is good....
This year....
I'm cutting back... Taking off school until the Fall I'm going to focus on living life and I will still teach part time but I plan to not over do it and not volunteer for everything that comes up this year. My goal is to Know my limitations and accept them....
I hope to journal more this year, I missed it last year and for me this is the one place I can be completely honest and open and vent and rant and rage.... It's my sounding board of sorts...
I look forward to what 2006 holds in store....
