Getting down to the wire again, a year ending, a new beginning.
Normally I try to reach for the stars with my goals for the year, but this year I’m doing something healthier and more realistic, because the sense of accomplishment I would get would be better than the feelings of failing to not attain goals that are frankly, out of reach right now. Not to mention, those big, out of reach goals, they have to start small, you have to do steps to be able to even do them, and you know what, 2022 is going to be that year, I am going to work hard to fix myself and heal, put in the work to do better, it’ll be a year of stepping stones for me.
One really nice event that happened was grabbing dinner with Abby, the wife of my friend Chris, we’ve all been friends for years, but haven’t gotten to see them in what feels like just as long. They moved to Philidelphia some years back, and I went out to visit them once, as mentioned in the post [I’m Ready], and that was 2017. We had dinner at The Green Pig and caught up on life, told her about the kids and Jill, showed pictures of the kids, explained how I screwed things up with Jill, she tried to be reassuring, we talked about life in Philly, what Chris has been up to. I guess he was suppose to come out, but couldn’t after one of his coworkers got covid and they had to shuffle schedules around. It would have been nice to see Chris, Abby told me I should just show up one day and surprise Chris haha I told her maybe in 2022. It was a good time, catching up with a friend that’s known me after, hell, Jordan back in 2010, and everything in between, up to now. I grew up a bit, it was funny having someone I knew acknowledge that.
Aside from that, nothing really new or exciting to talk about, set up a twin bed in the master bedroom, don’t need more than that right now, just trying to figure things out here and there.. Let’s hope I get some good news soon or something!
Later days.
“Oh girl I don’t know all the reasons why
I found the answer lookin’ in your eye
I go out walking all day long
Take away this lonely man soon he will be gone
Cause I’ll tell you everything about being free
Yes I can see you girl can you see me
You don’t need to know what I do all day
It’s as much as I know watch it waste away
Cause I’ll tell you everything about being free
Yes I can see you girl can you see me”
