This past year has been much better than the year before. The year before that, I was in deep recovery from the death of my husband. This past year, though I still had many miles to cover, I embarked on a new relationship. It has not been the easiest thing to do, this trying to start a new relationship thing, while still exploring the repercussions from the last one. I am still giving it my best shot. We've been together nearly a year, now. Although doing a relationship has always been difficult, for me, and although it's even harder, given the circumstances, I can truly say that my emotions have leveled out quite a bit. And my life has started to become reproductive, again. In small measures... nevertheless, much more productive than the year before.
At the top of my things to accomplish, I want to add one that I have gone through every year, in my mind. My pet peeve is other drivers. I wanna get over it!
(1) Do not allow other drivers to ruin my mood, and my day, by their thoughtlessness and recklessness. Try to remember that they may be having a bad day. Leave earlier, for my destination, to avoid unecessary stress.
(2) Figure out a way to present myself, and communicate my intentions, in such a way that the people most important, in my life, will give me the respect that I believe I am due. Start by trying to show them the respect that they feel they are due.
(3) Change my eating habits and continue trying to regain my healthy physical self. Somehow, find a way to get some exercise. Commit to getting more rest, at night, and abuse my body less.
(4) Continue trying to develop my artistic and musical side. And read more often!
(5) Learn to be more considerate of others, and try to stop focusing on myself.

Great resolutions - they are extremely similar to mine.,except for the last one. I need to focus more on my needs and less on other people!~
Oh, and did I say I'm glad you're back?
If only I can stick with them! I've already started becoming more peaceful... I have to be, the partner is in such dire physical straights all the time, one of us has to remain calm!
Shimmerings.
In 2 months I got my blood pressure down,,and my Dr. is really pleased!
I realized that I can't worry about things I can't control,,(my mother's health, my son's addiction,,my grandson's cancer)..,and that made a big difference! My blood pressure was so high, I was a 'walking heart attack'...and now its almost normal.
I concentrate on today, this moment, and I laugh more, play more,,don't sweat the small stuff, and live for today. Tomorrow will never come, and yesterday is History,,,and to hell with housework.
Also, I'm down to 4 cigarette's a day, which I'm sure helps....but its mostly my attitude towards life.
I am finding more reasons to smile,,,I'm much calmer,,,,and I know its because I made it a priority to have 'Me Time'....my blogging time..!
It works for me! and if it ain't broke, why fix it!
I have just begun my journey,,,and so far its been exciting, stimulating,,energetic,,,,and addictive! And I'm hooked! Like Martha would say,,,,,,It's a good thing!
