The theory is usually good. It's the practice that seems to lack a lot.

I got yer practice swingin', book boy.

StephL, Go, you. Independent work, a real-life outlook on diet and its effects. Go, you.

Wait. I already said that.

Go, you.

I shall, indeed, go. I know not where, though.

Probably just bed.

Huh. If I didn't know better, I would wonder if Gus was blocking me (or ignoring me), since he responded to the five or 6 posts around mine, but nsm mine.

Wow, a whole new year, CST. I feel, shiny!

See?!

Lee, I missed your post because of ... wait. You are just jacking me up, on account of the Kat thing.

Evil Lee. Lee is starting 2005 EVIL, Gawd help us all.

eta: wait, does this mean I am no longer the nice one? Maybe I take it back.

2004 was a year where most of my gains were in the mental, emotional and spiritual realms instead of financial. But I at least held my own on that last one.

My DH remains unemployed, but he came so close this past week I have hope he'll be hired by someone sooner than later in 2005. As for me, I have the same job, got a small raise, and have been getting more responsibilities given to me.

I feel a bit saner now than last year, which in a sense is saying something. I've been learning more about what makes me tick and where I need to do some work.

I've been getting real support and reinforcement in my pagan path from expected and unexpected avenues. More than ever, I know I'm where I need to be on that level. It's hard work, but it matters.

Romantically, I remain the resident nookie hog. I still have the DH and two of the three sweeties I had when I posted this time last year. One of the three faded back to friends-only status back in January, but someone else stepped up to take her place with both the DH and myself back in July.

My apartment isn't as stuff-free as it should be, but it has less stuff in it than it did this time last year. There have been too many years I couldn't say that.

My bankruptcy was finalized back in January. Sadly, I didn't list one thing I should have on it, but I'm working on getting that one under control. At least I can afford to do something with it.

And while I don't participate much, I've always been glad you folks are here.

Maybe I take it back.

Thanks for the back-link, I really did miss it, among my other thread posting and natural confusion...

I feel like I was drifting too much, in a lot of different ways, and I guess the closest I am going to come to a resolution this year is to pay more attention and focus more, even on the little stuff.

This is the thing. Bearing down on the present moment. I also wish I was able to do more of it.

2005: the year where ita was the nice one.
