What do I want?

I've been on a path of thinking negatively again. I constantly think about what I DON'T want versus what I do. And, I constantly think about the things I CAN'T do anymore, or shouldn't, instead of what I can or should.

1. I want to be strong and healthy. Physically.

2. I want to travel.

3. I want to continue to excel in this career I never thought I would have, but somehow am pretty good at.

4. I want to one day complete my dream of being a personal trainer...even if it's just on the weekends...even if it's just being certified.

5. I want to meet new people, and develop meaningful relationships.

6. I want to go back to when Gabby was home every other weekend...instead of not being here any weekend.

7. I want to come home every other Friday, fix my daughter and me dinner. Watch a movie together and spend time with our kitties.

8. I want to pursue my brand of happiness.

9. I want to learn to speak Russian.

10. I want to go back to reading before bed instead of watching TV.

11. I want to find one person to enjoy the rest of my life with.

12. I want to have a nice clean car and apartment.

13. I want to own a home with my family.

14. I want to be closer to my parent's and my sister.

15. I want to have Sunday breakfasts and shopping with my sister.

16. I want to go out and have fun. Not bordom.

17. I want to be a good friend and be there for people. After I've made sure I'm a good friend to myself.

18. I want to be who I am ALL the time. Not hold back. And, not act out in ways I wouldn't normally.

19. I want to be completely self sufficient.

20. I want to continue to believe that not everything is black and white. There is color to the world, and everything and everyone has their nuances.

Knowing what I want is the beginning. And now, doing things to get those things is what I have to concentrate on. Not concentrate on things I can't do. Because I can still do whatever I want, as long as I'm still doing the other things that get me my ultimate goals. No more pissing around. Wasting my life. It's not who I am. It's not the way I was raised. It's never made me happy. I know exactly what makes me happy, so why I continue doing things that don't is beyond me. No over night changes of course. I know better than to think things happen fast and perfectly. I know what hard work is, and I know that people slip up. I know that even with life altering events that make you question your life, you won't change them the very next day. Sometimes you can, but it's hard to break habits. It's a lifetime pursuit. I've never taken the easy route...never wanted to until recently. I almost purposely take the hard road. The lessons you learn are so much more beneficial, and the rewards feel better.

I watched a really disturbing movie today. Karla. Creepy serial killers in the form of "Barbie and Ken". Based on a true story.

Pretty Decent Weekend

I went out Friday night, and....I met someone. We really, really hit it off. I think some of you who know me really well would be shocked at how good looking he is. His name is Paul, he's 29, and he's only been in San Antonio for about a week. Anyway, we talked all night, I drank a little too much, and so did he, so the night didn't actually end that well because there was an argument between him and Andrea. I thought he was a little rude, and also maybe he would be scared off. But we were texting last night, and we're going to meet up next Friday. I really do think he should apologize to Andrea first though. Although, I'm so green with this dating thing...I almost think that's too much to ask when you're getting to know someone. I don't know, you tell me. Saturday I pretty much did nothing but recover. And then Sunday, Andrea, Gabby, and I went hiking. We did a Level 4 out of 5 trail for an hour and a half. I'm not sure how many miles it...

Christmas 2005

Christmas was kind of rough on me this year...JC and I had broken up, I had just had my tonsils taken out, I had been deathly ill for months beforehand, and was really kind of just all around desperately depressed...as I'm sure you could tell from previous posts, but this little person with me in all these pictures somehow makes everything better...

FYI

Just so you know...my computer is sitting here, on the floor, next to me...at my parent's house!!! Woo Hoo! I've taken the first step in getting it fixed...but alas, there it sits...I'm not the only slacker in the family! Also, I turn 30 in less than 20 days...
