Looking Back

I had journalled my thoughts last year from June 3rd - Dec 18th. I just reread them tonight. A 2 hour glimpse at the past.

Wow. It was actually rather interesting reading those words, when I knew 'the end of the story'. I had to go through every step of the process that I did, to get from 'there' to 'here'. It was quite a trip.

But I love where I have arrived. And even on looking back on the road to getting here, it was a good trip. I have documented the process of drawing people, activity, dancing, writing and living back into my life.

This is an actual entry from my 'journal' from August 11th of last year. I reread it and thought "Wow! Those goals were life-altering ... and I actually followed through on all of them!" ...

Aug 11/07 - I need a plan. I need to get myself out of this rut. Dancing is first and foremost in my mind .... but I need more. I need to interact with people. I think I need to reach out to some friends. I should try and initiate an 'optimist group' gathering. I should email (my friend) and see if and when she may be up to some company and maybe we could head out to Regina. I should call someone. I should make some sort of plan to use my credit with Westjet. I should start to gather some of the info to work on that book about Mom's growing up years. I should act on at least one of these ideas. Maybe two or more.....

I need a plan. I am going to email my Optimist Friends right now and see where it takes me ....

Well, the plan worked. Life has been on an upward curve ever since ....
