It's hard to believe that a new year has come already. 2008 was not a very good year for me . There were several deaths in my family this year including my 96 year old great grandfather , my great uncle and my cousin's husband. Two of the family pets also died. They lived to be 16 and 18 years old , which its a good long life for a dog I guess.
There have been some positive things in 2008 though. I think the therapy that I've had this past year had really helped me control my emotions. I don't get as upset as I used to . Maybe that comes with getting older. I just grew tired of so much drama  , that I've just started to tune it all out and attempt to do my own thing.

I'm going to continue with my new therapy and try to start functioning as a normal person again. I don't want to regret not living my life and not taking advantage of my youth.

I'm still working on my novel. I procrastinate yes , and I don't know why but I try to do the best I can to get my word count up. Writing is my passion , which is why I'll never give it up . Every time I have tried to give it up because I thought I sucked , I felt like my life was so empty and meaningless. I signed up for Forward Motion's 2 year Novel course and I already have my idea posted. I guess that now makes two writing projects that I am working on.

Also , I've started a new hobby - crocheting! Yeah I know it doesn't have a lot of street cred but it's really relaxing and fun. I'm not so good at it yet but I'm working on a scarf right now. Maybe I'll post pictures.

I also started the 101 things in 1001 days  on New Years day. I'll post my list in the next post.
