2010Grrr… Enough with the Smiling
Take me as I am! This girl doesn’t always smile. Sometimes she can be sultry, sometimes she can be miserable… sometimes she can try to look sultry and end up looking miserable. Oh, well!
Seriously, though, I’m in quite a pissy mood today… not sure why. Probably just the end-of-year blues – thinking of what I wished I had been able to accomplish in 2010 and trying to set realistic yet ambitious expectations for 2011.
The years fly by faster as you get older, and 2010 was a complete blur. I had great hopes for 2010, but only managed to do a small part of what I’d planned. And then it was over!
I’ll give myself time to wallow for a bit, and then I’ll brush myself off, renew my positive attitude and aim high again for next year. If I don’t believe in myself, no one will…
…nope! …not ready for that optimism yet… sometimes, being down and even a little miserable can be comfy and a bit therapeutic.
Tomorrow will be better.

Its OK to wallow a bit but I’m sure your positivity will burst through in no time flat. How can one feel depressed when the prospect of being the beautiful girl you always dreamed of becoming, is always ther – just around the next corner !
BTW – I am beginning t get into my stride with this blogging thing too – just a bit disappointed not to be getting much feedback. I guess it will come in time.
Love

Yes, Sarah, sometimes it can feel like screaming in an empty room… Hang in there.

Very much enjoy your blog and your honesty. Inspiring. Happy New Year.

Happy New Year to you too, Richard. I had a quick listen to a bit of your music and enjoyed it. I’m planning on going back when I have more time and listening to more.

I agree, where did 2010 go? I had lots of plans for both Trish and my “guy” side. The time flew past and now it is 2011. Trying to live 2 separate lives takes planning, but I am learning. I did manage to “clean out my closet”. Had way too much stuff that was fun to try on, but I would never wear. Love your Flickr site, I may comment on it if you do not mind.

Well, Trish, you’re doing better than me… still trying to get the car in gear for 2011… As for flickr, thanks for the compliment; I love receiving comments there – and here. Always welcome.

I have not gotten Trish in gear myself. I am idling in the Bahamas in my family attire, not a pretty maxi dress and no makeup!! But I am making plans. My big mistake in 2010 was trying to do too much all at once. What do you want Janie to do this year? I have both naughty and simple things I want to accomplish. I like the way your profile on Flickr starts.

Well, to answer your question, I just this minute posted my inaugural 2011 posting…
