I was sick for New Years. Like really sick.

Which sucked. Like really sucked.

But it gave me a bit of time to reflect. Which is something I really like to do. I like to think about things learned.

In thinking about 2008, I saw that there was a pretty consistent theme. 2008 was The Year of the Mind for me. I learned that I suffer from Bi-Polar II and everything that goes with it. It was a great thing to learn, and something I am very grateful.

I wrote about relationships (at least my search for one). Or the changes I was trying to make to be better at them.

On a side note, the first song I listened to in 2009 was I Held Her In My Arms by the Violent Femmes. Why does that matter? Look at the lyrics:

Im gnawing on the knowledge
That I have been burnt
And Im learning things that i
Shouldve already learnt
Everyone I ever knew
Was so kind and coy
I was with a girl
But it felt like I was with a boy
I cant even remember
If we were lovers
Or if I just wanted to
But I held her in my arms

Kinda fits, I think.

As 2008, closes, I spent a lot of time in the previous year getting my mind straight, which for me is soundly attached to the heart. s

As 2009, opens, I have decided its time to focus on me. On my physical. Meaning, getting my body in shape. Getting my finances in shape. Building a routine that works and that I can follow. Basically learning how to take care of me.

Here is to 2009, The Year of the Body.
