So its now the start of 2011 and before I knew it, 2010 flew by as quickly as a hummingbird dashing across alike a dart in the brisk Spring air. 2010 was pivotal for me and alike many others, made a difference. A lot has happened, and a lot has not happened – which is actually what the rewarding part was. For the past few years, I recall telling myself that this was going to be the year – that was going to make a difference. This was going to be the year where all would fall into place. I had wished for a while now that things would just stabilize.. just quiet down. Not to a standstill really. But to the point where at least I could take a breath, and just take a look around.
Reflecting back with an ounce of honesty, life has been so quick and full of rampant change since 1998. Life prior to 1998 was somewhat routine for a while – and possibly during that time, things needed to change. Events needed to evolve. Something just to prod things so that life could just start again. And it did. Quickly. Elizabeth and I had decided to move to New York City, get married, shift our careers, and events happened one after the other continuously for years. Mostly good events too, so I’m happy about that.
All in all, I think 2010 was that year for us. The moving around stopped – we stayed kaput where we are. The job changes stopped – every six months really took its toll on me mentally. I’m tough as nails when it comes to job change now, but I’m truly brittle as well. Sad to say, my health is not all that great – I haven’t taken care of myself over the years, and it shows. My blood pressure is high and Elizabeth constantly warns me that heart attacks do happen. I joke – but I know she’s right. Part of me is in denial that it can’t happen to me, but I feel it.
Maybe that’s next to take care of.

Thank you Buzz for sayin’ it!! Holy smokes, do these plopee need to settle down and get a grip on their own reality! Of course we love our kids equally and all that blah blah blah. You know what? This week my son is my favorite! That right ladies! I definitely prefer the company of my 11 year old son over my 19 year old daughter! Any mother with a teenage daughter will fully understand what I’m talkin’ about! However, last week, when she wasn’t on a hunt for her inner b*tch, she was my favorite. Next week? Depends on my mood, their mood and the mood of the household. Any mother, with living children, goes through this and they’re lyin’ if they say different. I can’t imagine that my friends with kids and I are (and I include them all w/o exception) alone in this world. And thank you again Buzz for reminding us that Daddies are no different! Way to go for being the thought provoking writer that you are. You definitely provoked some words that are stickin’ in the craw of a few who just might be in denial.
