Has it only been 2weeks?!

It feels like forever since the last post! So much has changed between then and now. It seems as though someone out there (God perhaps?) knows exactly how much to dish out and when, and also knows exactly when you deserve a little bit of a break or a reward.

I have to admit, being home has rejuvenated my spirits. I can't help but think all I've done since I've been back in Calgary is run around running errands for the family and at the same time organizing and prepping for the clinic opening date, but...it dosen't feel so much the burden right now. Feeling more excited about this than I have in awhile.

I guess it helps that renovations are finally done and the pieces of the puzzle are finally coming together. There's still so much ahead for me to do (it seems my to do list is never-ending), but there seems to be a light at the other end. It also helps when your personal life isn't pulling you down either...in my case, I feel like I'm floating...floating...haha! Corny...

Whatever the case, got two feet grounded stuck in the mud. Gotta trudge through the business thing first! It feels to me 2006 is going to be the complete opposite of what 2005 was for me. So much opportunity, so many new beginnings, professionally and in my personal life. I know there's no possible way it can get any worse than 2005 so it's only going uphill from here right?!

Yeah yeah...I know, it could get lower than where I'm at now...but whoever got anywhere by thinking negatively?! Positive thoughts people!! Guts and determination!!

My resolutions for this year so that everybody knows and I have more witnesses than I need....

1) I'm going to make this business FLY!!! Not just go or run...but FLY!!!

2) I'm going to get back into shape...too much moving around this year, not enough focus on my health...how? Join a dragonboat team, wall climb every week and go to the gym or run at least 3 times weekly.

3) I am going to get off my butt and start socializing more. Been mopping around too much this year...

4) By 2007, I wanna be self-sufficient! No more relying on the Bank of Mom and Dad! In fact, I wanna be paying off that debt! Not that a debt to the Bank of Mom and Dad will ever be fully repaid...

I think that's about it...New Year, new start!! Wishing all of you all the best this year!!

Does Life Get Any Easier?

That's the question of the year...of the century even. And the answer? Never...in fact, life gets more and more complicated and convoluted as it goes on. There are times I wish so badly for the simplicity of childhood....where the only thing you needed to worry about was what to do with playtime, what your mom packed for lunch and who you could trade lunches with...it all seemed so important at the time, but so simple and trivial now at this stage in life.

When did it get so complicated? I think I can answer that...it got complicated the moment we were born. It just gets more complicated as we take on more and more responsibilities and once interest in developing some sort of serious relationship kicks in...but just because I can answer that question dosen't mean I have to like it.

I hate dealing with the heartache and the stress of dating. Forget serious relationship stress, dating stress is all I've got to worry about right now and its driving me insane! There are times I really envy those lucky few who have found their special someone and don't have to deal with the insane dating jungle out there.

Then there's the responsibility of a job and paying the bills and all that jazz. I guess I'm feeling it more so what with it being my own business and all...I just got to be strong...deal with it as it comes.

But it dosen't stop me from wishing it were easier...
