life instructions
stole this from the bob blog (go check him out, he’s great):
this will also be the last post on strangerelationship.wordpress.com. i feel really confined by this blog, perhaps choosing a name such as strange relationship (the title of which is a song, a song that has very deep, very complex memories/meanings for me) wasn’t such a good thing. i haven’t given up on blogging, far from it, in the new year – i plan to do a lot more of it. i hope that most of you will follow me (hint, click the pic) - but if not, c’est la vie… thanks for staying on the train as long as you did.
with that in mind – and with the instructions as a guide, some closing thoughts:
-
love yourself. everyday. or try your damnedest.
-
realize that you have value, and people love you – doing self-damaging things, well that just validates whatever issue you may be trying to circumvent (trust me, i know)
-
find joy/bliss/nirvana in the small things.
-
try to learn one new thing every day. that’s a huge thing for me, something i will be working on in the new year.
-
turn off your t.v. for 1 full day every week & go for a walk.
-
you know those moments where you don’t know what to say, or what to do? just say something! just do something! anything.
-
enjoy the people that love you. even if they’re a little challenging to enjoy (hi mom!).
- oh, and that whole thing about ‘no regrets’? i don’t buy it. regrets can teach you tons. just listen to your gut.
see ya’ll in 2009 (somewhere)

Happy New Year to you, and I can’t wait to see what’s happening on the new site!

I think I can honestly say that “Strange Relationship (ship ship ship)” was the first blog that I followed from its beginning until its demise. I look forward to bookmarking the next chapter!
Happy New Year!!

One new thing every day… that’s a challenge I can get behind.

Sometimes I love myself 3 times a day.
