Six Hours Till 2006

I started this year living in a cozy little basement suite, with a full time Quality Manager Position and a head full of dreams and aspirations. I close out the year, with a van full of experiences, my dreams now my reality, and aspirations on the path to fruition.

Today, the liquor store clerk asked me what my greatest accomplishment of 2005 was, and I told her, it was making myself happy. My greatest epiphany of the year has been how to handle disappointment and change, while not letting my little cart on this rollercoaster of life, derail.

I never was much of a resolution maker and last year I put them online for the world to see. How did I do? hmmmmmm. Should I tell you? I guess so. Lets see.

I took every gig offered to me. I learned the art of busking (it should be called 'Learning how to become invisible in the eyes of City Dwellers!') I played more outside of the northwest of BC. I ran almost everyday, ate veggies more, laughed more than I have in years, bought a tuner I could use on stage, traveled more and did most of the tourist things that I wanted to do around PR but never got off the couch to do in the past.

Where did I fall short?

I am no closer to being a ukelele or piano virtuoso than I was Jan 1, 2005. Ah well, maybe next year.

I think that the only new resolution I am going to add, is to learn more about accounting. Sorry....pretty dry. And I guess to keep following my heart (not so dry!).

Hope you are all having a great evening. I am off to get 'Doll-d' up and hit the town! (In my weakness today I bought a New Years Eve Tiara, equipped with rhinestones and pink feathers!)

Happy New Year Everyone!
