I'm thinking 2008 is going to be a year of changes for me. I've written in previous posts about my difficulty in making new friends but that seems to be changing already. I've always been a bit of a loner, even as a kid, but just in the last few weeks I've already started to open up and let people into my life.
It started with Cheri. I think by opening up to her, I've also opened something in my heart and soul. It feels good. It's about damn time something in my life feels good. I'm still cautious, as old habits die hard, but little bits of communication here and there are filling a need that I didn't even know I had. You can teach an old dog new tricks, after all!
I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy right now, partly because two of my new friends just had a baby girl tonight. I feel so special to have been involved in getting up to the minute postings about their beautiful experience.

I'm still recovering from my 2 doubles this week. It takes so much longer for me to bounce back these days and I keep telling myself that it's because of my current health issues and not my age. One of the reasons it's so hard on me is in addition to all my other crap going on, I also have Fibromyalgia Syndrome. I was diagnosed with that in 1996. I won't go into all the ugly little details but suffice to say, it's no fun. If you are curious, Google it, but I guarantee it's not going to be a light read. It was weird, the first day I had the Google AdSense on my Blog, one of the ads was for Fibromyalgia.
We had our regular Thursday night Manager Meeting this evening and one of the things we discussed was the upcoming Restaurant & Bar Convention in Las Vegas, which is at the end of February. We go every year and it's a ton of fun. However, I don't know it I'll be able to go this time. CeCe offered to get me a wheelchair/scooter thingy because I can't walk for long stretches at a time, bless her heart. I can just see me zooming down the Vegas Strip with CeCe riding shotgun on the back! Wheeeeeeeeeeee!! The main thing I'm concerned about is the possibility of an upcoming surgery on my back. I'll find out more about that when I go for my Provacative Discogram on the 15th of this month. I'd hate to miss the trip, but gladly will if it means a step in the right direction in my battle against chronic pain.
2008 is going to be a year of changes for me. I am going to re-claim my life and be rid of this pain. That is my mission, I'm focused and ready.

These internet tools are an interesting way to meet people. Twitter, blogs, comments, e-mails, social sites, etc. We can be as cautious as we want, read the messages, respond and/or end it when and if we want. We can be safely at home or anywhere else and have a lot of control, give out and keep confidential what we want. We can make it at whatever level is most comfortable. And I agree - Yay 2008!
Thank you, smithjones, you are absolutely right. =)
