Toodles Two Thousand and Ten

Despite my completely neglecting my blog, I seem to have gained some new followers. Hi there newbies.

I was terribly miserable driving to work the other day. I have a LOT of work to do before the 24th, I have little motivation, I am not been getting a lot of sleep and feel very worn down, Christmas always stresses me out and most of all, my boss was recently diagnosed with cancer and it is very upsetting (in good news I went to visit her at hospital today and she is doing really well and may get to go home tomorrow after having surgery on Friday). 

Anyway, I was driving and listening to Nathan and Nat on Nova (I know, mock away) and Scott Russel Hill, who does weekly psychic readings for listeners (which I can't stand and am completely intrigued by at the same time),said to someone that 2010 was there year of good things.

This got me thinking about my 2010 and I realised that 2010 has been a really good year for me, probably my best in memory. I am still feeling down in the dumps but I think writing down this year's good things will make me feel better. So here goes (in no particular order): 

1. I became a real lawyer
2. I got off my arse, put myself out there and met a wonderful man (yes D, I am being soppy )
3. I lost 14 kilos
4. I am the fittest I have ever been in my life
5. I started a blog
6. People actually followed my blog
7. I have managed to get up for Bootcamp at 6am twice a week for three and half weeks straight (so far - this is a new thing)
8. I helped plant a garden
9. I got an iPhone (hehe)
10. I ran around Lake Monger (and bitched and moaned the whole time)
11. I won a very important hearing at work
12. I signed up for the Rottnest Swim (and then sadly had to pull out due to extenuating circumstances)
13. I learnt how to surf (well I can't stand yet but I am learning)
14. I became a strong swimmer for the first time in my life
15. I can play G on my guitar (maybe I will have to adjourn by promise to play carols to next Christmas)
16. I helped make a projector screen
17. I developed muscles in my legs and arms I never knew were there
18. I wore a bikini (and felt good - until I saw the photos)
19. I won some really great bargains on Ebay
20. I finally cleaned all my old crap out of mum and dad's house
21. I became the journey to fix my teeth (even if it does mean braces for a short while)
22. I .....

I am out. Perhaps I will keep thinking about good things to try and help me stay afloat. I might even add to my list.

Write your own list (if you want) it feels good.

A Poem by Fi

The place I like to go so much

Is somewhere in my dreams

I only wish I'd go there

When my head is full of screams

The world I love is dying

And somewhere far away

The world I love is crying

And calling me to play

XOXO
