I never said this to a group of people but I wish everyone a heartfelt HAPPY New Year. I really mean that. For most of us, 2008 has not been a stellar year, however, I sincerely hope that all of us get a litttle happiness in 2009 regardless of your goals.
XW called to wish my a happy new year at 15:00 yesterday. She seemed a little nostalgic....started complaining about her father blah blah blah....just like old times. I guess her new boyfriend is not a good listener. She called D8 who seemed surprised since it was too early....so it was not a D8 initiated call. Went out for a drink with another lady (no initials yet). Pretty nice but I have a feeling that getting into another relationship is not going to be easy. Anyway, she seemed to enjoy our time together because she called to tell me and sent an e-mail...this from a woman who has alot going for her. Not sure about the long term viability though. We shall see. I think I will meet anothe one today....in case you guys have not noticed, I joined an online dating thing. Kicjked in the new year with family...the way it should be i guess. D8 called at 12:05 and unfortunatelly, she was holding back tears....i will try to stay positive and attribute it to the fact that it was late. i have to admit that a little anger crept up in me....anger at what? Anger at the selfishness exhibited by some people and how this whole mess in 2008 could have been avoided. But that is water under the bridge and we need to move on.....
New Year's resolutions; in no particular order
1) Stay positive and don't sweat the small stuff 2) Get fit 3) Maximize my time with D8 4) Concentrate a little more on my family and friends and don't take them or anyone else for granted. 5) land a job that I am happy to jump out of bed and go to.... 6) learn to love again
