wolfsbrideSo! At the beginning of the year, I posted some resolutions!
And so, as 2008 draws to a close and 2009 waits in the wings, I decided to broaden my range a bit. My resolutions are thusly broken into four categories.
1. Physical - Build on what I accomplished in 2008 and improve on my health even more. Possibly get of some of my multiple medications.
2. Creative - Make an concentrated effort to get back into my writing.
3. Financial - Get back into the habit of saving money.
4. Spiritual - Learn mediation and become more in touch with the worlds beyond.
Lets see how I did!
1. Physical - ALMOST made it through the year without getting a DEATH COLD. I got a few regular colds during the year but nothing that settled in my chest until the last two weeks of December. The time has been filled with annoying bouts of coughing, sneezing and breathing problems but have not as yet ended up in emergency because of it, so yay!
I firmly blame the flu shots I got on December 18th, as I was fine up until then >_< My sinuses are doing much better so I have been able to get off of my nasal steroids. Whoo! I did end up in emergency once this year but as it was NOT lung related, I'm counting this year a success!
2. Creative - Here are some numbers. January = 21, February = 16, March = 12, April = 6, May = 3, June = 2, July = 1, August = 2. For a grand total of 63 scribbles this year. So as much as I was not able to keep to my resolution to write every day, I certainly wrote more than I did in 2008.
3. Financial - Hm. Didn't really have much success with this one. Managed to save a bit but kept ending up having to dip into it.
4. Spiritual - Didn't even get to attempt this.
In conclusion! Was extremely pleased on the health front. There's the threat of glaucoma on the horizon but I shall worry about that when it becomes more concrete. In the meantime I will read up on the subject as all I know right know is it's some form of eye disease.
Was less pleased on the creative front but that's probably because my expectations were too high. Will have to consider how to modify this. There's some stuff coming up that will have a big impact on the financial front. Need to get off my ass and start planning for it. As to the spiritual, I still want to learn how to meditate. Or at least how to make my brain shut up.
So, once again the old year is almost up. I have to say I'm glad to see it go. It was not a great year on the personal front as three people died. I'm hoping the new year with all its potential will be less traumatic. And now I'm done.
SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!!!
