1st Day; Second Decade; 21st century (1/1/2010)

I have always been obsessed about keeping a blog since it was made a possibility. I think the main reason that I have not completed this seemingly easy task is my lack of typing skills & the fact that alot of my life, I would rather let go than commit to paper. Well, I'm 40 and the fact of the matter is that all of those difficult moments & experiences or perhaps my solutions, have created the woman that I have become. I have come to the conclusion that, I am not so bad and actually I am a good person that cares about living beings...most of them. ( I still have a time with crickets! ) I love myself and it's ok to document the good but we have to write about the bad as well so that there is no chance of repeating mistakes.I spent my New Year's Eve with folks that don't know me too well but welcomed me into their home anyway. Allowed me to socialize with their children & pets. I was honored and glad that I made the effort to be there. Because doesn't life and all it's wonderful gifts just require a little bit of effort? Shared in laughter, mixed spirits we welcomed the thought of a better year than the last. The truth is, every year has its ups & downs and that's just life & living it. I am bound to have some lows because without them the highs wouldn't seem as wonderful as they always are. Happy New Year & Decade!
