2007 was not what I expected

threadwalkerI started out calling it the year of "me" with the expectation that I would be doing a lot of projects for me. I still had a year of "me", but it was not what I expected. I think I've completed 3 project things for me and one of them needs to be modified, so that's not very me-ish in my mind.
1. I had the best review of my lifetime with a boss who praised my strengths and recalled my successful efforts. In doing so, he made me cry.
2. I'm continuing to move forward on my healthy life balance. This was the real "me" piece as I changed my outlook on my priorities and my time/resources. Last summer I got it into my head to do a triathalon and now I'm registered for one. And now I've achieved a weight goal that I have not seen in 17 years and, even better, I run again. I have missed it and I relish having it back. I still need to celebrate achieving my weight goal. I already celebrated my milestones. I think it will be doing something fun and special for the get-away triathalon weekend.
3. I have said "no" several times this year. Another "me" piece and one that I relish because it has to do with prioritizing my life based on taking care of me.
4. I am working my fanny off to support N's scholastic efforts and it's paying off. That feels tremendous.
5. I feel like I spent 2007 hermitted up as I figured out my healthy life-balance. I informed the beloved husband that I was done with being sequestered and to be prepared for having guests over for spontaneous game or sewing or movie nights.
6. I felt like I spent a lot of time nursing sick kids last year. I hope that as E gets bigger that she gets more resiliant.
7. I made some new friends. New discoveries about old friends. Reconnected with some lost friends. Found out new things about me and how much I've changed since high school.
8. We went to Disneyland. It was fan-tab-u-lous.
9. I skied Black Diamonds.
10. I was a goddess at A&S..(oops - 4 sewn projects, my Judith dress is No. 4)
11. Watching my son sing on stage for Christmas.
12. Parenting rocks.
13. And best of all, I have a wonderful community of friends/family who continue to impress me with their love and who inspire me to want to do more for them.
