NYE...2014!!

So I sit here thinking to myself and wondering how the year flew by. My year has been not all pretty with blooming daisies. It has definitely had it great ups and downs. It has been breakups to makeup’s, family gatherings, so many trips, and celebrations of love. A major depressant is watching my grandmother deteriorate in right front of my eyes. It’s sad. It’s hilarious. It’s ridiculous. It’s just a curve life throws you and you got to ride it. I got sick way too often. I acquired a stalker (using the term loosely, had way too many stalking tendencies---don't fret it's my blog I use the terms I want to---who gonna check me.) I believe I lost a major love, not sure we can be real friends. He thinks we are, I'm not so sure---I have definitely been vocal about it. I have had major financial issues. I have had horrible arguments. I discovered although some people are put in your life for a reason they are not always meant to stay in that same capacity. Or even at all. <- Think that's a postcard or something; but sooo true.

No, I did not have the best year of my life, but it was far from the worst.
I went to Ireland...Shut up--I know right! I made up with a friend. I got to see my family grow with blessed unions. I'm going to be an auntie, again!!! My mother and I have finally --it's not set in stone--come to an agreement. I've realized some things about myself that I don't particularly like and resolved to attempt a change. Gurl, I went blonde and I love it. I decided that I want to write and just enjoy.
As I said before....I don't make resolutions...I am not about that life. They don't last. With the best intentions they are sadly forgotten 3-4 weeks into the New Year. That said, there are points with which I would like to work on and simple acknowledge.
Naps... I have always had a great relationship with napping. Recently it hasn't been so great. I will awaken from a nap that I unknowingly fell into and be totally nauseous. This is not good. I would remember going to lay down, with every intention of taking a nap and even with the conviction; I end up distracted. It must end in this New Year. I intend to cherish the nap! I want it to know it is loved. In hopes of it treating me right again. I will spend more time dedicated to it and following through.
 Food... I have no clue where we went wrong but it definitely has. I have somehow obtained an allergic reaction to certain foods. What is happening? My beloved avocado has laid victim to this adversary. I have done all that can be done there. It is insane; I loved it once and now it’s a pleasant pastime. This can't be life, to have it just ripped from you without any fore warnings. I hear this is one of the treasures of getting older. So I tip my glass to you the fallen and hope there aren't many more.
Breathing...Now I know this sounds ridiculous but I use to be able to breathe normally. Last year I somehow got bronchitis. Bronchitis is an inflammation within your lungs which causes shortness of breath, wheezing, runny nose and fatigue. I used to be able to walk and talk on my phone without feeling like I was a fat bastard. But no longer do I have this ease. I want my old lungs back. At times, I just get off the phone. Running down the stairs causes heavy breathing-- let’s not talk about going up them. I am no Olympian but these are normal activities. Normal breathing, I tip my glass to you also...you are sorely missed.
Heels and Dancing As I sorely discovered, this past weekend at a friend’s birthday event. I-is old, I-is out of shape, I-sa need to where the million of heels that I have in my possession and I-sa need to get in shape. I realize that this can definitely be tied into the breathing situation above --but were not talking about that now. We went to a day party and partied the day away. See that doesn’t even sound right …smh. After a couple of hours on the dance floor and I commend myself on such a feat; I was sooo tired. I didn’t even want to dance aanymore my feet hurt. I SAT down. Now I know you don’t know me like that, but see the way my life is arranged urrr… I mean see the way my life was arranged I use to be the person being dragged away from the dance floor when leaving the establishment. What in the hell is going on here? I just wanted to leave and grab something to eat and catch a nap. Aha see how I tied it all in there:  sleep, food, and breathing. Yea man, it was an end of an era. Even though I wasn’t the only one complaining about the searing pain coming from my feet and the boots I haven’t worn in months, years maybe. One of the girls we were with couldn’t even walk out of the place. Now you know I was not being seen with her. *Embarrassing* No sloppy partiers here. Nah she's cool. I kept my gait, till I sat, and then silently grieved for my metatarsus.  Still, I figured that this must mean one of two things. I can’t hang or I need to get out more. I choose the latter. So in an effort to amend this grievance I shall wear heels more often and shuckle and dive the nights away.

Happy New Years to all!!!!! Be safe and be well...more to to come in 2014.
