01.03.2012 Happiness Highlights: Moving Forward, Going Home

The title of this post is interesting because as I hit the button for "new post"  it was there as an option for me to use - evidently I'd typed it once before but didn't write anything.

Moving forward - yep, that's what I"m doing in 2012.  The past will always be in my mind - but I have found myself making little steps here and there into my future.  Moving in with my boyfiend was a BIG step, but until recently, I have to admit that it all seemed very transitory, another huge upheaval.  But now?  I'm settling in.  The shelf my brother Steve made is hung on the wall and my bisque kewpie collection is displayed.   The cat has accepted me and sleeps behind me on my desk chair.  The dog will do what i ask MOST of the time. Last week I went into the Greenwood Public Library and got a card.  Saturday I went over to the Greenwood Community Center and paid $50 for a year's access to treadmills and steppers, an inside walking track, weights, AND if I ever get the nerve, basketball courts!  The weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year's were filled with family - I'm more comfortable with the BF's family and my local boys and girls came to my new place.  So I'm moving forward.  Yep, I am.

Going Home?  I wonder what I meant by that.  Mebbe that where I'm living now feels more and more LIKE home to me.  Driving home at the end of the day means a house where the BF is waiting with a hug.  Having a Home where my children can visit.. Home means so many different things and I feel now that i HAVE a Home again.

anyway - a new year!  I'm striving to shake off all unhappiness and disgruntledness.  I've started another Pic-a-day and posted the first two pictures on Facebook.  I'm GOING to get fit by Eating Naked and working out.  I've sent an inquiring email to the local community band.  2012 IS going to be a good year!  At least, I'm going to strive to make it so.  :)
