Happy New Year!

Whoopee!  It’s finally 2006.  The year of, well, I’m not sure yet.  But I AM sure that this year will be exciting.  I spent a little time over the weekend reflecting on what I have learned this last year.

I’ve learned that I cannot drink like I used to.  Mostly because the affliction called “hangover” has finally caught up with me.  I don’t remember getting hangovers when I was younger.  I would spring back from a night of drinking and merrily go on my way.  Not so now.

I’ve learned that Freeman can blow really cool fireballs, while his friends mostly set themselves on fire and then freak out because they’ve set themselves on fire.

I’ve learned that, though I love belly dance as something to do, I am not a “Belly dancer.” No public performances from me, thank you very much.  Well, with the exception of the Solstice Parade.

I finally understand what I want from life.  Now I just have to figure out if life wants the same thing from me.

I’ve been reminded, over and over, how loved I am.  How lucky I am.  And even though I’ve had crappy times that I would rather forget, the good times far outweigh those.  I’ve been blessed with great friends that support me, a wonderful family that is always rooting for me and a fabulous boyfriend who treats me like a princess.  Things are good.
