I went back to my old blog and found this, my first blog post of 2009. It feels really good to reminisce about that time in my life, and how happy I was, and what high hopes I had for the year. I can't say I was disappointed.
Because This Is 2009
The end of last year was rough for Good Time Girl. It seemed as though the good times were going the way of the economy (current event shout-out). It took me some time to sort things out, but I came to the conclusion that if I want to be happy, I should just do it. And I am.
Why? Because this is 2009.
This is not the year I pouted about not travelling, this is the year I took the initiative, went overseas for a month, and didn’t come back.
This is not the year we broke up and I moved out of a place I thought I would never stop calling home, this is the year I made my own home and met people unlike anyone I’d ever met before.
This is not the year the Mini was severely injured in a 4-car accident and was in the shop for 40 days, this is the year we escaped from any close encounter unscathed.
This is not the year I rang in the New Year in the back of a cab after the organized party we were at got shut down by TABC at 11:45, it’s not the year I had strep throat and spent the night in Wisconsin hotel room, and it’s not the year I had to get up at 7 the next morning only to go watch the Aggies get their asses kicked in the Cotton Bowl, THIS is the year I rang in with an epic party at the Av surrounded by people I love. And with pictures galore so I will never forget it.
This is the year I am truly happy. This is the year of positive thoughts. This is the year of receiving. This is the year I see how much I can surprise myself. This is the year of living dangerously. This is the best year yet. This is the year I am me.
