Good post

in hindsight, I was acutely aware of my mental state as 2010 flowed in 2011. I remembered the quiet desperation I was feeling - hoping for a happy resolution to an angst-ridden situation. I wanted to be positive, hoped that by stating I was feeling positive I would get what I wanted.

Instead, I carried that angst into the new year and allowed it to lead me by the nose throughout the subsequent months.

I'm not going to rehash it - that angst, the sadness, the guilt, the heartache.... Low expectations are the best way to manage pre-determined resentments.

I don't want to look back on the awful of 2011. There is nothing to be gained by reliving those moments in which I wallowed in unsatisfying self-pity. I've done enough wallowing there over the last 12 months. I'm feeling surprisingly good and strong, hopeful (no really!), and I have big plans for myself in 2012.


The rest of the post is just as awesome. Go read :)

also, Happy Birthday David Bowie.

NEXT WEEK IN REVIEW

9 JANUARY 12

TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING

Try not to get too bent out of shape if somebody dares to question your ethics. Not to imply that Tauruses lack consciousness (or conscience), but when Mercury conjoins Pluto in your solar ninth house, you continue to awaken to a new morality. It’s actually an ongoing process of a mental, intellectual and moral evolution that turns out to be what higher education is all about, one you never got back in your old school days. Just back up all your glamour and glitz with substantial documentation and proof and you’ll be in fat city.

GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING

Some people think it is impossible for Geminis to get too serious or worry about what new calamity will happen next. Allegedly you live for the moment, making decisions on a whim without giving damn about the consequences of your actions. Changeable and unpredictable? Yes. But the truth is, you can be deep once in a while. Now that Mercury has moved into your solar eighth house, you are more thoughtful about what your future could look like. This doesn’t mean obsess and start driving yourself crazy–again.
