Birthday Musings

Today is my Birthday, which means that my driver’s license is expired because I’m a lazy git and didn’t get it renewed yet. Oops. Guess who gets to spend her birthday at the DMV?

Last year was a busy year! It was a year of much personal growth, which I’ll post about later. To be honest, I had a whole other birthday post in the pipeline, but I pulled it because it got a little *ahem* bitchy.

Last year I learned how to say no. It’s a lot harder than it seems! I learned to draw the line when people cross over my comfort zone and just say no. For someone who doesn’t rock boats that was a big step.

I also learned to shoot, another big step for me. I made a few wicked cakes, I gained eighty gagillionty pounds, I met some awesome new friends, I got an iPhone (a true highlight of the year!), I cooked some yumtastic food, and I started a new blog.

This year I have a to-do list a mile long, but I’m going to concentrate on three things:

Making time for meditation – some things should not be optional and I just need to carve out the time and do it.

I want to take some photography classes. I need to get back to my artsy side and schlepping out all the stuff to make cakes is a PITA and so I tend to not do it. I’ve always been into photography but don’t know much about it, so it’s time to learn something new.

Get back to exercise, a little at a time. I look and feel like a slob because I’ve let depression and anxiety make me act like a slob. Those days need to end.

So that’s it! I am over the hill, officially. Someone hand me a taboggan because I am going to make the trip down the other side the ride of a lifetime!
