I had a wonderful 2012. I didn't post very much but I have been busy. I am doing fantastic in my job and worked a lot of overtime the first half of the year. I also have been doing multiple house sitting jobs. It has brought in extra money that allowed me to make a big change I
I also have met someone new. We had our first date on the anniversary of the death of my former boyfriend. He is a widow and we both feel we had a little "help" in our meeting. We moved slowly and we are in a wonderful space right now. The future looks good.
I have been enjoying my own apartment. It took me six months to go through all of my stuff that had been in storage for the 6 or so years and stuff i have collected in my hope chest. I have made many many trips to Goodwill and have finally found the balance I need with all my belongings. I am sure i will weed out a bit more but now it's comfy cozy. I am only 3 blocks from work but this winter has been hard on me again. It gets dark so soon and we have had a lot of gray days in Jan and Feb. It gets harder and harder on me every year. But the sun was out yesterday all day and peeked out today.
I wrote in my post on 1/1 that I had picked out a word for the year. Well i wasn't quite telling the truth- I had multiple possibilities but had not yet found one that fit. Then I found it: Follow-through. My word for 2012 was Intentions and 2011 was Encompassing. The last two years was finding myself. I now want to follow through on those discoveries. I also have some projects going that i want to finish and thought that having this as my word of the year would help keep me on track. I thought it would even keep me on track with this blog. It can either be known as one word or two words but it fits what I want to accomplish this year. 2013 is going to be a year of projects.
I want to also update my blog with all my interests. That will be my goal. I will also be updating my pages. So keep in touch.
Till next time.
Dottie.
