Life and moving forward in Torridaussity Two

So I mentioned to one of my readers here who by the way I consider a friend as I consider all of you who read, that I am trying to write more and be more open. I am also this year working on organizing my life, de-cluttering, and finding inner peace. So to start off this year I am going to summarize last year lol.

2015 brought the death of 4 loved ones, but I also found out I will be an auntie (not from my actual blood), but to two more of my best friends future children.

I am still single as I was the whole year. I went on a few dates talked to a lot of guys and encountered more duds, than studs. Always there are what I now refer to as my “boyfriends” These are men who I would date in a heart beat but because of distance and other complications it doesn’t happen. I did grow closer to A who lives in Ireland, but I have still kept my heart open to others because I deserve more than just being close. I deserve someone who wants me as much as I want them and as much as I love them which brings me to J. J knows about A and that I am unsure of my feelings and need to completely work that out before I would be ready to move on, but he is still taking the time to get to know me. He is cute, he does live in Florida which is a bit far, but doable. I am taking it a day at a time.

2015 also brought the loss of mom’s job, but she has been able to find another one. I am going to be in another wedding this year as a bridesmaid this will make 9 for bridal party and 11 if you count my singing at some.

The other highlights were my trip to DC to visit with my college besties, my fabulous adventures in Iceland, and my trip to Chicago to celebrate my brother’s 40th bday. In that trip I also got to meet fellow write Curious Joe and that was a nice bonus. I would like to meet more of you in the future.

One of the most stressful problems was adjusting to our new Pastor (I am the music director and work directly with her) and the drama she created upon arrival that still continues. I thankfully squashed the drama others created between us, but I have a feeling it won’t be the last time something crops up. She came in like a wrecking ball (thank you Miley Cyrus) and completed changed our church and not all in a good way. I fear when it all ends whenever that is things will get worse before better.

The holidays end the year and they are always a little hectic for me because of the extra church responsibility and because of all the extra events that go on. I managed to, although they didn’t get mailed till new years eve lol, create and make 123 home made Christmas cards, a few homemade magnets, 25 popcorn treat wrappers, and over 100 homemade peanut butter meltaways. I love making things for others.

The final thing still weighing on me is that my hours are being cut as I start the new year and I worry that I won’t be able to make ends meet. I also worry how my client will be at school. I am not sure what all I wrote not much but she was very violent. I had been bitten, kicked, and hit more times than I can count anymore and usually coming back from a break is a trigger for bad behaviors.

As I head to bed tonight I will be praying for peace, patience, and understanding for the new year and return to work. I feel like my new year is just beginning because of being on vacation. I look forward to making my life better in the new year, by not worrying about finding love so much and worrying more about being happy and healthy. Thanks to all of you that read and are my PB friends.
