Uno uno

Whatever we choose to call 2011 as we embark upon it, one thing is for sure that the age old tradition of New Year's "resolution making" brings about swift movement. I brought in the new year with friends, which included a guy that I had been dating since September. Let's just say that as of today, he's on his way out. I try to be oh so careful about who I ring in the New Year with, but I may be laying superstition aside.
There is a Britney Spears perfume commercial where Britney meets with a fortune teller and then ultimately decides to fore go the fortune teller's vision to chart her own destiny. As corny as it sounds, that's my plan for 2011 and beyond. I can admit that I have consulted psychics, horoscopes, charts and the like to help me understand what direction to pursue. That's a lazy girl's guide to life, but charting one's own destiny in the face of temporary loneliness, thumping of the heart....I 'ont know. I'm kinda down for the journey because the alternative seems so, well, ordinary.
If I don't chart my own destiny, then who will? Married dude who "wants" a divorce but has yet to initiate "getting" one? Naw, that ain't for me. I can see how bright my future is...even though I have the many trappings that most strive for: nice house, car..check, clothes in the closet, job I like, attractive, in shape, smart, outgoing....really, not a care or a need in the world. But there are still people to meet, babies to kiss and dogs to pet. Nothing is new under the sun yet each day is anew and replete with possibilities for that destiny to manifest.
