The countdown has begun, a new year is upon us and I'm looking forward to what this new one will bring.
I realize I haven't been around much, haven't posted in a week. Sorry.
I've been contemplating what might lie round the bend for me.
I can report that I have been sleeping better and this has led to improvements on the health front. I have a feeling I had run out of power and needed to focus on nothing but recharging my batteries and spending time with the people I love.
Chicklet (the Wii lass) and I have had some much needed downtime together. I spent some time with Dad, just chillin'. I also had a few days alone to snuggle with the dogs.
I'm thrilled that for the upcoming days, I will be with my soulmate, just being.
In the New Year? I resolve to remember myself a bit more. I've sucked at that this year and I won't settle for being an after thought. I think the myth of the Superwoman has led so many of us astray, to think we can do everything and that nothing will suffer... and from experience? I can say that in the end, nothing good comes from it.
I watched my mother do it... I caught myself doing it. In time, I hope.
"I'll be able to live for myself once I get this taken care of... when I retire... when everything is done..."
But the truth is, we never know how much time we have. In the end, I want the people I love to be able to say that I was there, that I had passion, that I lived.
I'm going (ok continuing) on hiatus, in might just last a week... I don't know.
But I'll be watching, I'll keep tabs... I'll remember you.
May your eyes be filled with starsMay your heart know the Joy of Loveand may you dance in the moonlight...
Time...

... and we'll be here - thinking of you and wishing you well! Happy New Year!
(!) Food for thought for my ownself. And that Carlin clip, HA! One of my favorite comedians.
Take the time you need, I'm sure it will do you good.
For what it is worth, the only Superwomen I know have been ones who were not invincible. And that is more than okay.
Peace and blessings to you,

Handle your ticks and we'll be around when you're ready to tock again.
Did that sound right?
Good for you!
I so totally agree!
That is something I have been learning to work on myself.
Have an awesome New Year.
Dana: Maybe this will be a banner year for both of us.
Irish: You have a way of making me feel better my friend. And I think you've already begun a very wonderful journey...
Travis: hehehe... sounded perfect to me.
Kate: And you too, sweet one... have a wonderful New Year! :)
We'll still be here!
"I resolve to remember myself a bit more."
You took the words right out of my mouth. This is going to be the year of "me" but not in a selfish way....in a necessary way.
Last year I worked on getting healthier. This year I will work on getting happier.
I will follow up with you if I don't hear from you soon. You know I will. Don't make me come up there!
I don't know if I've ever said it, but I've thought it lots. You are a terrific writer. I've enjoyed our blogger buddy thing and I am always interested in what you write. But today's post is special. It shares a strong piece of you, it is optimistic yet realistic. And I've always loved this Carlin bit. I still can't believe he is gone. Happy New Year, Anndi!
RIP George! Good luck keeping your resolutions. I am gonna work on not settling myself. Have fun with your man and your family! : )
Knowing that you'll be 'home' ---if even for a little while--fills me with joy.
Still holding out a selfish little bit of hope;-)
Much love
Like we have anything better to do...we'll be here waiting for you, the glow of our respective monitors lighting our geeky faces.
Hope 2009 brings fandamntasmic things your was Miss Anndi.
I'm so glad that you're feeling better. I know you have a lot on your mind these days, so take your time contemplating, ruminating, and pondering.
I'll be around whenever you are.
Good to hear you're feeling better honey. I'll be here next time you post. I hope the New Year brings Good Health and Happiness to you m'deario. xx
good choices there my friend...
hope to see you soon...here and here (if ya get my meaning!)
I wish you happiness and health in the New Year - sounds like you're being proactive about your own wellbeing, which is so important! Good for you!
Take it easy, Anndi.
OK, whatever it takes, just feel better and all the rest, alright?
As always, hugs and happy thoughts!!!!!!!
You are about to be removed from my blog roll!!! It’s nothing personal…I’m restarting for 2009 this Thursday. Were you at the top of the list in 2008? If not, here’s your chance to be. A single comment gets you on my blog roll. Keep commenting and you’ll stay at the top. Hope to see you in 2009!
Sometimes you've got to have that down time. Take care of yourself. chicklet needs you to.
Take the time you need. We'll be here when you're back!!
Well...I MISS YOU like hell, but totally understand and respect your hiatus.
I will await your return and be here with bells on!
HAPPPY NEW YEAR, TWIN!
And know that I am blessed in having met you this year!
XO
That video was brilliant!
I hope you manage to get some relaxation and recharge time. And that you have a great New Year.
Have a good, relaxing, recharging time!
My warmest wishes to you and yours for a peaceful, prosperous New Year!
Happy New Year 2009 to you and yours! "If you don't say you'll do it, you don't have to!" Life is a stream- some spots slow, some spots faster... but the water always heads in the same direction..
Happy 2009. We will be here. Taking care of #1 can be so flippin' difficult sometimes....take it from the codependent who knows...and we all get sidetracked from time to time. Glad you are taking YOU time. Those around you will love you even more for it.
I hope your return is sooner than later, but will still be here whichever it is.
Be well my friend.
Down time is good. Catch up, take care of yourself, and recharge. We'll be here when you get back.
Happy New Year!
A very Happy and healthy New Year to you,Chicklet and the man that you love.
Peace be with you.
Traveling mercies, mama! In both time and space.
