Well, it is New Year's Eve, and I am sitting here contemplating everything that happened this past year and I am blown away. This time last year my life was completely different.
First, I was extremely ill. I couldn't keep any food or liquids in my body for more than 5 min. I ended up losing the healthy bacteria and had to rebuild most of my immune system. Then I got a sinus infection that lasted for 10 months. I have also been having some heart issues. I am hoping that I will be able to resolve many of my afflictions and can have a much healthier 2013.
Second, I had a job. The company I worked for had filed bankruptcy, but if anyone had told me then that our office would be closed, my friends would no longer live here due to being forced to relocate, and I would be unemployed I would never have believed it. Yet, here I sit, jobless. Fortunately I have something in the works and I believe it will change my life in a billion ways, making everything from this last year worth it. (Prayers and happy thoughts are appreciated and desired please) I will give details once things are more secure.
Third, I had a person in my life whom I believed was and would be everything to me. The way I felt when I was with them was like nothing I had ever experienced. My doctor even loved them because even though I don't have high blood pressure, it was even lower after I spent time with them. We had the same sense of humor and adored silly jokes. The cornier the better! We were both extremely sensitive and had gone through many very similar experiences in our lives. We bonded over so much. I would have done (and did do) anything for them. No task was too great, from listening to stories of woe to renovating their entire house, I offered and did it all. You'd think there would be some appreciation for that...you'd be wrong. All I got was lies, betrayal, and humiliation. I was then cast out due to my being upset with them for the lies. None of it makes sense even now and I don't know where to go from here. Most people say I should let go and move on, and I am in the process of that, but I need and want answers. Am I going to get them? Probably not due to the fact that they are a liar, but I dedicated 3 years of my life to defending and adoring this person and putting up with so much crap. I am hoping the universe will help supply me with the information I need so that I can protect myself better in the future. I was completely blindsided, I can't let that ever happen again if I want to keep my sanity. This is another thing I never saw coming and would have never believed. I am just left to wonder for now, was any of it real for them or was I just a pawn they used and then tossed in the trash.
Fourth, I was in school. I am not finished with everything, but I am done with Pima and just have to CLEP out of Algebra to get my Associates. I will be applying to the University of Arizona this February and depending on my new job schedule, will start in the Fall. I am nervous and excited and hope that I can afford to go (come on transfer scholarship!).
Lastly, I was not knitting. It is very hard to knit when I am so tied up with school work and work work. Yet I have decided I need to take the time. I have missed it more than I realized and it is very relaxing and therapeutic for me. I currently have something going on with the first joint on the middle finger of my left hand which makes things uncomfortable, but I am hoping I can work around that and not have to quit. I am hoping it is not arthritis, but am worried that it is at the same time. :-/ I will update once I know, but in the mean time I am persevering in making the socks for Jessie. :-)
So this is where I stand now. On the precipice of all new adventures. What will 2013 bring? I don't know. I just need to keep my faith and believe that this journey will take me to where I belong. Good things come to those who wait, and I've been waiting for quite awhile. I just have a hunch that this will be the year of relishing in those good things! :-)
See ya next year!
