We’re 2 weeks into 2008, and I think i’m still gassy from all the black-eyed peas I’ve eaten over the past couple of weeks. Hope my finances don’t suffer this year becuase I didn’t eat the traditional collard greens. I know I had a heaping helping last year, and I’ve never been as broke as I was in 2007. Being broke is no fun, and I vow to never be in that state again.
I feel a headache coming on as I think back on 2007. Coming out of 2006, I was on a high, what a great year! I was driving through a valley in 2007, lots of low points. I felt insane because these low points were often experienced in tandem with joyous moments. Up and down, up and down all year long.
Although 2007 was stressful, back-breaking, extremely tough, the year was one of tremendous growth for me. The biggest lessons: I need to change my thinking, and I need to trust that where I am and what I’m going through is exactly where I need to be and what I need to be experiencing to continue my spiritual and personal growth. Because as I’ve said before, I get better with age. Like a fine wine! And I’m not gonna let a few mishaps or people who don’t have my best interest in mind, derail me on my journey to love and happiness.
No resolutions this year. My primary goal (i left this comment on a MommyDaddyBlog post:
i just want to spend time, quality time with my baby.
*time* is the one thing you can never get backthe past few months of my life have been so hectic. i want to be able to step away from all the stress, and just feel so free in her presence.
just trying to slow things down, and appreciate what’s most important in my life.
So if I stick with this goal, 2008 will be a great year for me, regardless of any outside forces that try to threaten my happiness…and sanity!
Happy New Year to all of the Jasiri readers.
