So, it's been a while since I've written - 2 1/2 years actually! Well, you know, LIFE... Jobs, friends, dramas - they come and go, all with due time. "In with the positive, out with the negative..." as I used to say when I was in my twenties and faithfully doing yoga meditations - poor sap! As I get older, I find it's more gratifying to "in" with the wine, and "out" with the F-bomb. What? It's still a form of self-expression just with a different, perhaps, less physically healthy approach.
In the last couple of years, I guess you could say I've been working on my "bucket list" (from my last post, November 2012.) But, really, aren't we always working on our lists, our goals? What's the point of achieving them, anyway? Isn't the point in the practice and lessons learned from the effort of getting there?
And I have learned a lot since my 34 year-old self who last wrote. I'll be 37 next week, and I, like Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally like to say, "I'm gonna be 40!... Someday!..." Yes, yes, every birthday is a milestone, even the ones not divisible by 5 or 10. So, I'm confident (and hell-bent determined - don't challenge me, I'm a Taurus with a strong German heritage) to make 37 a great year.
So, here's to me! And, us! Or, this theoretical miraculous year in which I finally discover the one small key to infinite happiness (but not before I cure AIDS and cancer, then fund the arts all across America with the money I make, attend the Met Museum's Costume Institute Gala wearing one of those Beyonce booty-worshipping couture gowns where Clooney finally decides to turn his attention to me/my booty, where it should be.)
SOOOOO glad you are back! Here's to a great year!
