Today I'm stuck at work. Alone. Everyone else in the office has off, but my department must work because, well, death does not take a holiday. Someone has to be here to do the obits for tomorrow's edition and since I'm low woman on the totem pole, guess who was nominated? Oh well. Just means I get more uninterrupted internet time.

All of this time to myself has gotten me thinking about the next year and where my life is heading. This time of the year always seems to send me into a major session of life review. Am I happy with my job? For the time being. Am I moving in the direction I want to be? Not really. What can I do to make me happy? God only knows.

All of these questions have been swirling around my head the past few days.

Denise mentioned something in a recent post that has gotten me thinking too. More than thinking actually. It's time for me to let go. Let go of the things and people that are holding me down. Let go of the negatives in my life and concentrate more on my life. Oh, there are people that, well, for reasons I don't want to get into I just can't let go of. Can't forget. But I need to move past them. Get on with my life and the things that make me happy, like hockey. Running. Being with my friends. Reading. Acting ( I was very involved in the theater groups at both my high school and Ship).

You make time for the things that are important in your life. It's time for me to start doing that. I'm heading into the year I turn the big 3-0 and I am bound and determined to make it a good year, capped off with my planned trip to Ireland over my birthday.

Next year will finally be the year I take back my life.
