Finishing: 2009 - thank goodness - one of the most challenging years of my life - I was diagnosed with clinical depression in July (I am doing and feeling so
very well now thanks to some very clever, loving and supportive people) and I amicably separated from Mr B in September (its OK - all very friendly and he lives just around the corner now). Have spent the last months simply exisiting, managing and getting through the worst of both these things and am proud to be looking positively towards the future for myself and for Miss M.
Thinking about: 2010 - my year of new beginnings! The possibilities are very exciting...
Just (re)discovered: the satisfaction of writing down my goals for the year and knowing that I can achieve them if I put my mind to it. (Even the ones to lose some weight and get fit!)
Cooking: up some great plans...looking after myself physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually (as well as some great plans for a holiday or two and doing up the house a bit!)
Planning: carefully how I'm going to juggle all this with working full time and being a sensational mum to Miss M as well...hmmm...the trickiness of work/life balance and maintaining sanity! Lucky for wine, blogging and sensational friends.
Checking out: a great new app on my new iPhone (yes! I now have an iPhone and LOVE it) for tracking my goals called Make It Happen.
Listening to: my friend Todd's New Year's sensational party mix mash up
I really must: 'reset' my Bloglines so I can keep up with all my favourite blogs again...oh how I've missed being amazed, delighted and inspired by my blog posse's wonderful posts and projects (as well as their daily insights, lives and humour)!
Watching: I must confess I'm watching the Southpark marathon on Foxtel - and loving it! I'd forgotten how outrageous and funny it is!
Wanting: to give craftjuice a bit of a refresh and get my much neglected one night only kick started again.
Excited about: my friend Maya's new baby girl Evaline Rose (and wondering if Fiona B has had hers yet!?)
Have just finished: another beautiful day with my beautiful Miss M with a Scooby Doo movie before bedtime (I think Daphne has had some 'work done' for this movie...)
Needing to: pack the dishwasher, tidy up, wipe down the kitchen and find that other glass slipper...(I wonder who has it?)
Hoping: it will be a fine day tomorrow so I can get out and about with Miss M - the weather here has been very rainy over the past week (but it has been so lovely)
Looking forward to: so many things! Spending more time with Miss M before my holidays finish, some new purchases from MaxShop arriving on my doorstep, starting a new role in strategic planning at work next week (until Easter!), seeing my friends back at work, some sewing on the weekend (I'm thinking about embellishing Anthropologie style) and starting on my way working towards my goals in 2010!
Here's to a sensational 2010 - Year of the Tiger...grrrrrrrr! Are you ready? Let's go!
