Wrap It Up, I'll Take It.

It's been quite the year for me. It started with my bankruptcy becoming final and the feeling of release that went with that. A year ago I was concentrating on eating better, losing weight and feeling healthy. I was also paying strict attention to my money. This was a result of turning forty in November and feeling a need to get on with a real life.

As the year went by I got off track with both of those items. I ended up spending like a drunken sailor this year and gaining back all the weight I took off. Still, I'm okay with that. I learned quite a bit during that time. Not the least was that I was totally capable of cleaning up my act and turning my life around whenever I wanted to. Tomorrow I will join many in getting back on the efficiency bandwagon. I'm not unhappy with the way I spent my money. I had a wonderful vacation. I bought exactly the best tools for the job for me with my computers and camera. I lavished gifts and gave to charity like never before. And thanks to having no access to credit I did it all paying cash.

But all of this is besides the point when it comes to 2009. The story of the year was the amazing woman I met, wooed and next year will marry. I never expected to feel this comfortable with anyone. I never expected to find this much happiness. I never saw contentment on my horizon until this year. I'm glad it's called mid-life because I'm just now starting to think that I'm figuring it out.

This is likely to be the last posting on this blog. Change is in my air and I'm ready to stir up everything. This coming year I will move, marry and hit re-set on my life. Maybe a new page and a new setting is in order as well.
