12/24/2002 Archived Entry: ""

On a whim, I went back just now and reread my blog entry from Christmas Eve last year, and was very amused to find that a year ago I was doing pretty much exactly what I am right now: sitting at home by myself, grinding away at the story, sipping brandy, going out at intervals into the wintry night for a smoke and some reflection.

It seems apt; this has largely been a year of marking time, stasis. Very little has happened in my life over the past year, and I think I needed that period of calm, because fall of 2001 was not a good time for me, in the mental-health sense. I think I needed some space to resettle/regroup, enough to get me to the point where I'm bored with being all settled and grouped, and am ready to kick out the jams.

I think 2003 is going to be a year of change. I'm ready to finish and post the goddam story, and move on to new stories that have been waiting in the wings. I'm ready to change jobs. I'm ready to change residence, climate, landscape. I'm ready to change where I buy my groceries and where I work out and the newspaper I read and the people I see every day.

Of course, it'd be nice if the universe cooperated with all this by letting me get the job I've applied for. I keep telling myself that I should have at least enough qualifications to get an interview, and I've always done very well at interviews; only once have I not gotten a job I really wanted, once I got to that stage. But there'll be no news on from them for at least two weeks, so I'm deep-breathing and refocusing.

Anyway, whatever happens with that opening, there'll be some changes made around here. That's the New Year's resolution, in a nutshell.

Merry Christmas, Kat! \^__^/

Last night I attended a Christmas party, and it was terribly noisy. By the end of it I just felt utterly exhausted. But my mother won a SONY digital camera in the competition! Quite a good luck, isn't it?

And, I'll remind you once again: your New Year's resolution *should* involve those two unfinished HL stories. Yeah, I admit I could be pretty annoying.

Wish all the best in the world for you.

Yours sincerely,
Yang Jin

Send me your birth information (day, month, year, time and place) and I'll do a chart for you - both a birth chart and a solar return which shows the trends for the year. Of course, what moves our charts is US so if you have the will to change, you will. If you're like me, you will find your 50's a very different landscape from what went before. It's not that life's daily irritations and problems disappear, but you view them from a different perspective. I was very conscious of being midway through my life's journey and so, my preparations (saving money) and concerns (health, friends, etc.) took on a greater importance than they had before.
But do send me the info - I'd love to look at your chart . I promise that I will only see great things!
