This Year in a Nutshell

In about 14 days I will put another notch on the calender that has been my life so far.

To say that the day has it's share of memories would be an understatement. This year that is winding to a close had some of the highest peaks and the lowest of lows in my entire life, starting with? You guessed it, my last birthday. If you have followed this blog, or are friends/family, then you know what I am talking about, a marriage proposal followed by 2 months of the worst moments of my entire life after I was dumped by the proposer.

There have been other peaks, though none so high. I survived, which is also saying a great deal, because that pain was like no other, there is no comparison. (um-- yeah for me and the folks with stock in Kleenex.) I have my own place, the first in my adult life. I succeeded in a quest to move up at my work, and am thoroughly enjoying it. I still have plenty of challenges before me, and I take one step at a time to get through them.

I will likely not be celebrating, it is a work day, and we don't do birthdays at work, at least not with this job. Besides, I have no immediate family here, nor any friends up this way that would share a few moments with me on that day. I am not planning on celebrating at all mostly due to what memories the day has for me now. I might sell something and buy myself a small goody, but that will be the extent.( yes I said sell, lol- I have no money burning a hole in my pocket..I use that for laundry, lol.)

I am going to have my wish though, even if I am not blowing out candles. I guess sharing it would put the ol' curse on me of not having it come true, so I won't. But if you know me, you know what I would be wishing for. I certainly hope that it comes true. And in case you are wondering, I don't wish bad things for others, it's asking for a karma butt kick- something I really would rather pass on.

Hugs, and have a good one,
