Happy New Year 2010

Sitting in the quiet darkness (another night I can’t sleep through the night… great) thinking about all that has been 2009 and thinking about what might be 2010… it has been a hell of a year.

Who would have thought, as I sat last New Year’s Eve, that I would be sitting here a year later facing RA and what could arguably be one of the biggest adventures in my life… I was ‘limiting’ my ‘activism’ to Breast Cancer awareness… because of my mommy… and my aunt bea… but now I think I have a whole new cause… one that is interestingly closer to home… one that doesn’t have as many advocates (by all appearances…) I wonder if I will have it in me to become active in an RA ’cause’… Me thinks it is something that I NEED to do…

I don’t, as a rule, make resolutions (they simply get broken anyway) but I think that this year I will set as my goals…

Loosing another 30 pounds or so…
Making a concerted effort at Tai Chi
staying as healthy as is humanly possible
…
and taking up the cause, in some way or another (lol… even if it is “only” through the pages here…) the cause of RA.

I do not want to spread myself too thinly (I have already made that concerted effort… to give myself more of a life)… but I think that this is important…
