| Rah took this pic with my camera phone and since it's the only record of the occassion, I included it! Niece, Me and Darryl holding Diva! LOL |
- Sat in her very comfortable reclining chairs
- Drank from her ridiculously stocked bar
- Watched all the moves we missed in theaters (Priest, Bad Teacher, Final Destination, Paranormal Activity)
- Caught up on all our conversations (in person i.e. more details)
- And stayed up well into the morning.
The next day we were up, with her cooking breakfast (which is a treat because Sunday is generally reserved for dinner - Sat is breakfast day) and watched more movies. It felt so much like home that I forgot Darryl was even here, I was back in my summer home; with my real home merely 15 minutes away technically. Yet we have to get back on the road and drive another 15 hours to Louisiana.
When I visited Ebony's house she actually had her New Years Resolutions from 2011 posted on her wall - her and the boys - dang perfect family! When I perused them I knew from our daily conversations that she had achieved most of her goals or was consciously working towards them...to say the aloud is one thing, to have them posted is a completely different thing.
So here it is in no order of importance (and I plan to print it out and post it literally in my house)
- Resume a healthy lifestyle
- Get back into my career
- Be responsible for my own happiness
- Continue working on my personal religious relatonships
- Get my finances aligned
- Purchase a condo
- Begin preparations for living/teaching abroad
- Find true acceptance; it always takes life's little reminders to show you that you ultimately have not
- Find myself...I somehow lost me in my roles mom, wife, friend, educator, etc. - I remember me, so maybe if I looked in the last places I left me I'd have some luck...
Happy New Year
BTW - Isn't this the year we're all supposed to die? I guess I'd better hurry.
