Welcome 2012-Year of prosperity

I'm sipping red wine from a small glass, "Hidden City" a new Travel Channel show plays in the background as I complete classwork and write this blog. 2012, I am so glad to see you. I don't think that just because it's a new year that all of these new things will pop out of nowhere. But I have a great, fun, heart racing-excited feeling about this year. I just know that this is the year of prosperity-Physically, Mentally, Spiritually and Financially. And because we have what we say we have; and we are who say we are I've begun chanting this mantra of sorts since the last day of 2011.

On the last day of the year I was feeling super down. I mean my "One" and I had words, My Dad somewhat disowned me, and my broken ankle was causing me pain. Sidebar- We take so many things for granted. But when you no longer have certain abilities you start to pay a bit more attention to them, and start to show gratitude. Wait until you have to get help to do simple tasks like: Make it to the bathroom, bathe, get dressed etc...Imagine having to wait on someone to wake up or come by to get you a glass of water. It sucks. It sucks. But, now I appreciate the ability to take care of myself. I appreciate these two strong, brown legs that God gave me to walk, and skip and leap. I appreciate all of the people who make up my support system who've waited on me hand and foot for the past two weeks and three days.

Anyway, I was feeling crappy as hell. My pride was hurt, I felt thrown away. I felt kicked while I was down. Then I cried my eyes out. No, not my usual cry (because I am a ball of emotion). I purged. I drug up things that happened in my past. I mean, I really cried. Then the next day I woke up extremely excited and at least partially resolved. I also woke up feeling like the sand dunes of hell had given birth in my body from all of the painkillers, "green" and random Tequilla shots consumed. But I just knew that good shit was fina happen. ----LOL...(I'm sooooo hood) And as soon as the words (my mantra) departed from my lips things started coming together-

Here's my praise report:
1. I have new business plans in place, with serious potential earnings. Yuuuup, I'm claiming it now.
2. I went to my follow up visit at the Orthopedics and my ankle has healed so well you can barely see the fracture in the x-rays. I was advised to gradually start returning to my normal way of doing things. This made me so happy, I had to fight the tears of joy.
3. My Dad and I had dinner tonight and addressed some sensitive subjects. It felt good to be clear, and to be heard (to be continued).
4. My One and I made up. She reminded me of how much she loves me and we're making LONG-TERM plans.
5. Mostly everyone around me is prospering and doing well.

I refuse to allow old things to contaminate my new possibilities. I am feeling good about everything. I have a ways to go (LOTS to do to be a better Lizzie)....but I am making plans to put things in motion and happy about the progress. Baby-steps, literally.

So, remember when I started and mentioned the glass of wine, etc...I'll have you know that I walked to the bar and poured that wine myself, after I bathed and rolled my hair full of pink sponge rollers (my hair is straight this week, already curling at the roots). Yep, I did it mmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyy way!!

Peace & Blessings Kings and Queens.
