Progress...

Written Mar. 06. 07

Yay!!! I finally have my laptop. Now all I need is Internet connection (which I will be getting on Thursday - my birthday) and I will be up and running!!!! Who needs cable when you have the whole world at your finger tips with high speed Internet.

I thought it would be a good idea to update my blog and to keep up with it more.

What has happened to me since?

Well, I moved out for one. Hallelujah! I’m still single. (Of course I’m still single….it’s the story of my life.) I’m still at the same job but now I’m a photojournalist. Life is pretty OK. Of course it
could always be better…..

I’m sooooo over the whole crying in my beer, broken-hearted thing. It’s amazing what a little time can do for your spirit. I’ve casually dated a couple of nice guys here and there but nothing has taken off so far relationship wise. I’m actually about the cut loose someone who I’ve been seeing now - that’s another story for another blog.

So, as I mentioned earlier I have a birthday coming up. For the past couple of years I’ve spent my birthday either depressed and/or reflective on my life. Birthdays to me are like the second chance you get in the year apart form New Years to make new resolutions. This birthday I just really have one and it’s to be more proactive - at my job, in social life, family….everything. With my nature it’s easy for me to sort of retreat into Hermit-ville and sort of not want to be bothered with anyone or anything. Since moving out I have reveled in my solitude. I am so loving it! I don’t think I’ll ever be able to live with anyone else again!!

But sometimes solitude can be costly. I complain about being single but I don’t make myself available as I should. I complain about having a lack of career focus or passion for something but I don’t get out enough to be able to explore new possibilities. I could really stand to stay more connected to family members. I’ve always wanted to trace my family roots but I keep putting it off.

So this year…..in the 27th year of my life I’m going to vow to be more proactive.

I’ll keep ya posted!!
