2007 is winding up, Christmas is over for this year and the New Year is about to begin.
This is my all time favourite time of year. Christmas is over, so the pressures of the season have subsided, but the new year hasn't yet begun so my new goals or "resolutions" haven't been put in place yet. I guess you can say it is the time of year when I feel like I am free of holiday obligation... that is until Dec 31st. I don't generally believe in New Years Resolutions.. I think they set a person up for failure because they are usually really big goals in an unreasonable time frame or multiple goals that individually could be achievable but together seem impossible. They also almost always involve some form of weight loss plan which really should be a lifetime plan and not just a yearly thing... anyway...
Christmas this year brought me a gift that I was definitely not expecting. This gift actually made me nervous for a split second when I opened it. Thats probably why I love it so much. Finally, someone took my own words, believed my conviction and set in motion the actual reality of them. I received a gift certificate to get my first Tattoo! I say first because apparently tattoos are addictive.
I already know what I want for my first tattoo. The Aquarius symbol. I chose it because I am an Aquarius and that is one thing about me that will never change. I love my astrological symbol and it will always remind me of who I am deep down, where I came from and to always stay true to my core beliefs and values. My original plan for a tattoo was for a butterfly to symbolize my transformation with the weight loss but that will have to come after plastic surgery when everything is all trim and tight.
So anyway, 2008 should be a really exciting year for me. I have gone down 3 clothing sizes in the past 6 months, I am down 107 lbs right now and I begin some new and exciting activities in the new year. Acting and singing! I am also embarking on a new project for work which is a little bit intimidating because I am not completely sure what that will hold for me. I am also not sure it will benefit me careerwise.
2008 is also the year for me to get out there and date and meet someone special. That will definitely be a tough one for me. I am not good at the dating game so I need to hone some skills fast. I am hoping that making a goal to meet someone this coming year isn't too intimidating or a goal that is unattainable. I don't plan on going hunting, or settling for someone I wouldn't normally choose just to meet my goal, but I am a romantic deep down and hey, I think it's finally my turn! That sounds so dorky but what can I say? I'll keep my eyes and mind open for this one.. and I will take help anywhere I can get it.
Maybe this year will just be a "social year" for me. I'll aim to make new friends and see what happens..
