A New Year...Already?

2009 - I'm 6 days into the year now and it's still hard for me to accept. Time is flying by so quickly and it just seems to go faster the older I get. What happened to my 20's? Where are my 30's? Now I'm 3 years into my 40s and it just doesn't seem possible. According to my life plan that I wrote when I was in high school, by now I am suppose to be a famous Opera singer living in Tuscany, married to one of Placido Domingo's sons with lots of servants, parties every weekend (with lots of famous people of course), world traveler, millions of adoring fans and a couple of tiny dogs I dress up in little costumes (this is why I do not have dogs or they would be dressed up in little outfits). Anyway, I feel like I haven't even started living until I turned 40. Like all those years before were just practice and now THESE are the real years. So what if I'm not famous or have a lot of money. I'm not dead yet and I may have forsaken Opera but my Jazz days are starting up and ready to go. Maybe I won't be world famous but I might be able to at least make a name for myself in Seattle. Who knows. I'm starting to believe that it really is the QUALITY of life and not the quantity. I haven't been doing a lot of living this last year and really need to live each day like it's my last. I'm going to look into taking more fun classes, an Improvisation class, a film class, a dance class, drama classes, writing courses, etc. I want to meet more people and have little dinner parties, find a nice man that likes Funny Kung Fu movies and scary movies (you would think that most men would like these movies but every single man I have dated has not liked horror movies). Anyway, 2009 is going to be my year of good health and change. I want to be the person I was meant to be, I want to make sure I do what I want and not care what people think about me.

I want 2009 to be the beginning of a new life for me. Pretty soon I'll go back to my maiden name, doing great at losing weight, trying to rev up my exercise...etc.

I also wish a great year to all my friends, all of them in the United States that we will hopefully see a positive change in this country with our new President. I wish their lives will be enriched with love and money too would be nice...

My friend Mike in Edinburgh, hopefully he will be over his manflu now and be feeling much better to be able to enjoy his lovely grandchildren and the rest of his family. Also I hope in this new year his job won't be as stressful and they will get more help in his office.

Also hope my mom stays healthy now and has a good positive year.

Anyway, I have rambled on enough about my life. I am really excited to see what is around the corner and can't wait to experience life to the fullest!!!!
