Well, my birthday has come and gone. I am now 40 years old, and still in a rut and wanting something exciting in my life.
Then I realize I am right where I am suppose to be in life, and its ok with me. Time in a young (and use the term loosely)person's life you can get in a rut that you can't get out most times. What I realize now is that my life is my own, and no one can take that away from me.
If I'm taking stock of what I have in my life is that I'm finally at a place that I feel confident enough in myself. Look back on my life and say I did alright for myself. I have a few friends, and a Bestfriend, who is more of a sister friend and I've been trying to get rid of her for almost 27 years, and she won't go away. Though, we have a love/hate relationship, which means we love to hate each other. But, if the other person needs a shoulder to lean on, we're there for each other. Everyone needs friends.
On the family front I have two parents, who love me. At least I hope they do. Like, I said in the last letter I have two (~cough)WONDERFUL(~cough) brothers, plus two nieces and a nephew. Though, I would like to mention that I also have a great Sister-in-Law, plus the fact that my one brother has girlfriend, who is also terrific. (Now, let's see how many more adjectives I can use to describe my family, and close knit friends. Though, I don't really want to say anymore brilliant words to describe my family and friends just in case all these positives go to their heads.
On the professional side of my life, I have two part-time jobs that I enjoy. They both give me a reason to get up in the morning and stay out of trouble. Though, the trouble part doesn't seem to be working, since trouble always seems to find me. I don't even look for it and it just happens, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Right now I am still working on my novel, trying to maintain my websites (yea, I have too many to count). I have links provided for your viewing pleasure on the link page. I also dabble in Photography; taking pictures of concerts, sunsets, flowers, anything that I like to photograph. That's about it on the professional front, and now onto my personal life.
Personal life, what's that! Don't really have a personal life, I get up go to work, come home go to bed, get up and go to work. The cycle keeps on repeating itself, until I decide that I had enough. I need to do something about that instead of just sitting on my butt and not doing anything. Though, I think I'll volunteer at WIFF (Windsor International Film Festival) this year since I love watching movies, and I was always wanted to become a filmmaker. My friends and I enjoy going to clubs and hearing bands play, ok it was one band and they played on my 40th birthday, but we're also going to see the same band on my best friend's birthday (actually, its the 15th and at the Lion's Head). That's just about it, and what I wanted to write to you. I hope you don't mind that its a long letter that I think I wanted to write a long letter to you anyways. I've been thinking about what I wanted to say to you when I met you, and all that I could come up with is "Thank You!" You gave me up so I could have a WONDERFUL life, and that's just what I did.
Talk to you later,
