I have years of memories in my bluelight journal. It's the only place I chronicled pretty major events in my life... my illness, the disasters and subsequent fixes of my relationship, various trips, etc. I know the entries aren't lost forever, but I wonder how I'd feel if they were. On one hand, I'm thinking it's cool, like a fresh start from that part of my life. Not to say that part was all bad, not at all, but I have been changing things significantly of late and that's a good thing. On the other hand, even if I am changing things for the better, it's good to look back at what was to see how far you've come. Not to say I've come so far, I'm like a different person or something, but it is enlightening to have away to get into a prior mindset. 
Anyway, whatever becomes of my journal entries is fine with me.
As for the life of present, it's very positive.
*Though I'm not back in yoga yet because of the unresolved shoulder issue and I'm very sad about that, I have been running regularly. It is a fantastic stress reducer and I'm glad I started. I'm working toward a 5K in Feb. And I will get back into yoga as soon as I can find the time to do one of my least favorite things, see a doctor.
*I finally got an offer and my current employer is working the paperwork now to match it. Amounts to a little more than a 20% raise. It definitely makes my day-to-day more palatable knowing I'm not, or won't be, one of the lowest paid people with one of the biggest workloads.
*School starts in January. I'm looking forward to it. I think I made the right choice of program, should've gone with this one all along like I initially planned. Set to finish April 2010 and then I'll start considering leaving the job I have now.
*Relationship stuff is good and getting better. We're not having sex right now, of my doing, but I think that's ok. And I'm sure it will come in the very near future.
*Friend stuff is getting better too. Spending more time with them, planning and doing things, getting closer. It's overdue. Big ass party planned for January, also overdue.
*Christmas is coming and I can't fucking wait. I love Christmas. I started late, but I'm beyond excited for giving gifts this year. More on that after they're given.
Yay! Happy Holidays!
