Happy New Year!

Well....2005 is officially a wrap!! It was a year full of change, pain, and growth. Me and some friends spent New Years Eve on Beale St. It was a tad bit chilly, but definitely worth it. We were in the midst of the crowd as the countdown began, and as cheesy as it sounds, I almost couldn't stand the anticipation of the new year. I actually felt like crying when the new year hit and the fireworks went off.

A lot of people choose the new year to make new starts in their lives; lose weight, new careers, etc. I guess its a good starting point for reinventing. I guess I'm wanting to reinvent myself as well, but mine is more internal than external (I wouldn't mind losing 10lbs, but...anyway). I feel like I've already started some of my changes, I've been working on a sort of "cleaning out my closet", dealing with some skeletons in there.

I intend to be happy this year and surround myself who can only contribute to that happiness. I'm tired of wallowing in other people's problems/issues. I'm not saying that I'm not going to be supportive of my friends and family with their problems, but I'm not going to take them on. There were a lot of times that I would stop what I doing in order to take on someone else's issue. I'm going to work really hard at saying what I feel and not worry how someone else is going to take it. I also refuse to be walked on anymore by people. There are only two people in this world that my life revolves around; my children.

It's time for me to regain control of my destiny...here's to 2006!

I feel you!!! Just be careful when you clean out that closet, I would hate for you to find some live folks, not just skeletons... LOL
If you lose the 10 pounds, try not to lose them over this-a-way!! I brough in the New Year asleep on my couch, house clean, kids healthy, my man home with me, and Dick Clark back talking! Nothing could be better, I pray you have a GREAT 2006 and I love you KID SISTER...KID SISTER...you know the song... Much Love to you and I am a phone call away if you need help putting those skeletons in trash bags (I know a little wooded place where noone...well, nevermind)
