This was a year of adjustment.
Najor lifestyle change - no job for most of the year, traveling to new and exciting places, getting sober.....again, setting priorities, adjusting to not one but 2 new jobs, adopting another furry lovebug boy and all of the pain that came with that, finially getting most of my energy back after cancer and Graves, learning that boundries are not that hard to deal with and many things I don't care enough about to make a big deal over - just because someone says I should, and I've learned it's fine to be a slob once in a while.
I think I learned something new every day this year. Today I learned that, if you put a washer, dryer and water heater out on the front lawn, someone will take it while you're gone.
Most of all, I feel as of today, that I am back in the game of life - at least as much as I want to be at the moment. And, in doing that, I can still be a good mom, wife, friend and employee.
One thing I am not anymore is the center of activity for Disneyland fun. I'm pretty happy about that even if I did enjoy it for a while. But, I have other fish to fry and other priorities and was happy to pass - or drop - the torch. I don't need the ego boost of attention and I like spending time sans "responsabilities". We'll see how long that lasts, but for now I'm happy with the choice I've made.
Right now, I'm looking forward to doing more stuff to the house and yard. That's been my big obsession for the past few months and we are accomplishing a lot. Now, if I just had another trip to plan...........
