Today is my goodbye to 2007 and I'm having a blast!
I am going to bury it with all the flare of a Viking funeral and glory in what I've turned myself into thus far while embracing the me I wish to fully be.
I had mentally set aside 2008 as an exciting year since my birthday will be 08-08-08 and I love things in threes. But, that was long ago ... long before I thought the year 2000 was a thing I would touch. When you are a child, anything that you cannot feel immediately is far, far away, and NOW, back then, was just that.
Far, far away.
Back then, I would use my future self as a focal point. My anchor to the future to pull myself and hold myself to my goals.
Now, while watching the innocence in my children's eyes and the purity of their love for all the things they love, I have chosen a new focal point.
Today is an exciting day for me. I have prepared for this mental shift for a long time and I am enjoying the snakelike slithering out of a skin that was beautiful while it was mine.
Today I kiss every part of me that I've built and I say, good job, Ms. Johnson.
I bid farewell to the anchor that I have clenched for my entire life, and, so far, this is my favorite goodbye.
