a new beginning


At last 2007 is finally here!!! I never thought I’d be so damn happy to welcome a new year but I sure am now. You see, as much as I hate to disclose this small piece information, a microscopic part of me just didn’t think I’d make it long enough to see 2007. I know that it should never have even crossed my mind but it did. Furthermore if you knew me then you’d understand.

In any case, 2007 gives the impression of being an eventful year for me (which is GOOD). I have been blessed with a family who has been so supportive both financially & emotionally. I had planned on possibly going back to work this year for the reason that I have been sitting at a standstill for what seems like an eternity and that simply is not something I am used to. But seeing as its been only 7 months since I had my 4th brain surgery, my family and some of my closest friends don’t feel like I should rush back into work. Given that I have not reached the 100% point in my health just yet I am actually willing (albeit reluctantly) to work with them on this one.

So to start of the year, I will be heading off to California for a month to spend some time with my little sister and her husband, as well as friends and family who I miss terribly. Besides I have this need for a change in scenery anyway. So I’m heading out there on January 24th after I have my follow up with my neurosurgeon on the 22nd. I then come back out here on February 21st after my sister’s birthday.

While out there I plan on playing tourist in the town where I grew up in. Which might seem weird to some people but it was something I don’t really remember doing that while still living there. Some of the places I am likely to visit (besides Roscoe’s) would be The J. Paul Getty Museum, Griffith Observatory, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Museum of Tolerance (maybe), San Diego (which is a given), Las Vegas and some other spots my sister has not told me yet. That doesn’t include friends who all intend to come and visit and catch up with me.

So like I said it’s certain to be a memorable year and it’s only just begun. Wish me LUCK ! ! !
