Happy New Year!
Today we slept in til 11:30am, got up, ate smoked salmon w/ cream cheese (B had his w/ baguette, I had mine w/ rice crackers), drank mimosas and also had some Peerless pumpkin spice coffee, and we watched Gonzo.
This year, I will:
- Become more of an advocate for Endometriosis awareness and humane treatment for those of us who suffer from it
- Put my life’s worth (1985 - present day) of diary entries about my chronic Endometriosis-related pain all in one place publicly on the Internet
- Travel to the U.K. for the first time
- Buy my first ever kitchen table
- Finally stop consuming alcoholic beverages because I know it will kill me based upon the medical condition that I have, and it’s time I started loving my innards every minute of every day instead of cursing myself for an illness I was born with
- Learn and practice yoga
- Live my first year of many decades under the new title of WIFE to my superhero
- Re-read every book I have on Tibetan Buddhism, and seek out more, because that more than any other belief system still really speaks to me 14 years after I found it
- Begin pardoning people who have incurred my wrath in years past (I’m not talking about small tiffs here, I’m talking full on silent treatment for years or decades)
- Generally start to practice true forgiveness on a grand scale
And I’d also like to quote my friend. This is second-hand as I do not recall the words as they were spoken last night, but Damion says that Chase said something last night that is so full of awesome, that I shall put it as my signature file in email…
“Let’s not hope for a better year, let’s MAKE a better year.” - Chase Worthington
Love and hugs and all that mushy crap,
