Day Three Hundred and Sixty-Five:  The End

This year began on a rocky note.  I had returned from the great of my life to a cold, unbelievably busyest adventuseester.  My family experienced an incredible, horrifyin in January that changed ourg loss just before my birthyear and our lives, and althgh this time of yr is hard for us we know that we have eachother and everything is going to be okay.  After the term ended we decided to get out of the country for a small vacation, and after two weeks of recovering from what feels like my billionth surgery I was back at work with my kids and planning and in full managerial hiring swing.  This summer I wanted to continue adventung despite my lack of travelling so I ended up setting super goals to get through.  I read ten books, and jumped into light rapids, and spent more time with my family going on small adventures which is much worth it.  At the end of the summer Ceara and I ventured to Toronto alone for our Russell Brand apocalypse.  I visited Wonderland for the first time and in early September auditioned for a role in 1984, which marked the beginning of my renewed love affair with being in the theatre.  After a term of absolute constant chaos, developing friendship and inner peace I find myself on the other side of a strong year of growing for me.  Both creatively and emotionally I’ve had to figure things out on my own, and physicaly have challenged myself beyond what I thought possible.  Besides changing routine for the play other things had to be changed as well, and as the last full term of my undergrad I feel nostalgic looking back.  I have raised money for my kids with ideas coming from my own head, I’ve written almost three amazing plays, I’ve  made leaps and bounds with the soulmates I have as best friends, and most important of all I am at peace with myself on this December 31, 2013.

Last year on this day I vowed to remain positive and strong throughout the year.  My word this 2013 was "Nurturing” and I think I’ve done it well.  It has been one incredibly rough year, rough doesn’t seem  to cover it.  It was challenging and new and dark at times, but it’s been a fascinating ride.  I continue to surprise myself as does my family for their grace, and my friends have never stopped supporting me.  Looking ahead at 2014 I expect more travel as I already have a trip to Peru planned, and I want to get out of Ontario a bit and look around more.  I haven’t decided on a word for 2014 yet but I’m leaning toward Proud, capital P.  This year is my year to truly kick ass, as if I hadn’t done that enough in the past five since I lost my sight.   I am going to make myself proud of this year, and being positive doesn’t even cover what I’m feeling.

This year h to be incendiary, and I will make it so.

Thank s for reading if you have been checking back all year, it means a lot to me.  The content has changed since my first Project but I still enjoy writing them.  I decided to make this one more personal and I think I succeeded without getting too much into my life.  I am looking forward to new projects that I will broadcast accordingly, when I am ready to, but for now, I will thank you again for reading, sorry about the grammar, spelling mistakes, and rambling.  Someday y will get me back I’m sure.

This is the last time I’m going to say to keep on keeping on.  If there’s one thing I’ve learned since I was diagnosed is that you really only have the life you have, and there’s nosense wishing it was something else.  Get off your own ass and do what you want, because that’s how things get done.  Don’t expect anything, and hope for the best.  Be smart, enthusiastic, and smile.  Don’t wallow about love, don’t take things for granted, and always have a friggen great time.
