THE NEW YEAR POST

i've been laid up in bed for the last coupla days - not so much sick but just tired. 2004 was a rough year for me, i felt a few days of vegetation to bring in the new year was greatly deserved. so - here we are. 5 days in and i'm officially starting 2005.

last year was taxing beyond belief. it was a landmark, a year to change the rest of my life and i'm happy and relieved to report that that change was for the better. i came outta it a new person, finally complete and happy.

i've never been big on new year's resolutions but i do have an ongoin list. this year i'll be better. a better person, a better daughter, a better friend, a better employee (k - i'm constantly waiver on this one). i will not surrender at content, i will be happy. i'm gonna do the things i want to do and not what others will have me do. i will go on vacation this year. i will take my dad to calgary to visit his family.

a kiss farewell to the trials of 2004 and here's to a new year, new hope and new strength.
