What will you remember about 2005?

- I read the best Lit.story ever, Obedience in All, nothing else can touch it.
A link, if you may? I can't find it.
 
I'm trying to think of something that I would remember and coming up with a blank. Guess 2005 was pretty forgetful for me.
 
-I rang in the 2005 New Year in Amsterdam.

-I reconciled with my sister after a two-year silence.

-My father-in-law died at 51.

-I came to terms with my body’s resistance to conception.

-I graduated from university with my BA.

-I won the Nude Day contest here at Literotica.

-I fell into infatuation. I eventually fell out again.

-I got my first “real” job, a job within my field, a job where I’m paid for my brain rather than my body.

-I faced my fears and decided not to take the path of least resistance.

-I’m learning what reciprocation feels like. (It feels damned good.)

-I’m not quite there, but I’m almost ready to try again for a baby. Some day. With the right man. Even if it’s via adoption.

-I’ve fallen in love with serendipity.
 
I found out that the affair my wife had 20 years ago was still going on.
 
I started 2005 with virtually no band anymore and ended up being on the Grammy ballot and bringing the band back to life. Record company interest, big playing opportunities, the works.

I've spent more time in the hospital and visiting doctors this year then I have in the rest of my life combined.

I just had an interview for a day job that looks like it might make 2006 a bit easier on me.

My grandfather finally finished up on the long process of dying that he started four years ago. There's no telling how he hung on so long in such bad shape.

I was optimistic about 2005, but 2006 is going to be MY year.
 
I will remember....
  • turning 28 meant I only had another two years left of my 20's that I am so incredibly sick of
  • being involved in a role play community that I knew in my heart that I had outgrown but I just couldn't give up
  • fell in love with a younger guy thinking that he was 'The One'
  • relearned that just because I have the strenght of character to stand up and defend what I said doesn't mean that everyone else does
  • smiled as friends from long ago came back into my life again
  • began the process of losing something dear to me even though I didn't know it at the time
  • finally ignored enough of the voices in my head to hear my own inner voice
  • got up one day and said ya know I am tired of the way that i look and started walking, then running, then yoga, then the gym then weight watchers (42.3 lbs this year heck yeah)
  • came to the realization finally that both of my former marriages didn't fall about because I wasn't enough of a woman to keep them from cheating on me but that they were not man enough to be monogamous
  • ended a job with a company that I started out loving so very much but realized that they wanted robots that smiled and twittered instead of real people
  • started working on a job that brought one greatest love back into my life, books
  • realized that the people closest to me were the ones hurting me the most and made the decision to walk the heck away
  • was told "I love you and you are an amazing woman" and didn't believe the person... at first
  • took on pain that at the time I never thought I would survive
  • realized that He was holding me in His arms while I came unglued
  • broke my leg and ankle and realized that my dreams that were going full steam ahead had to be abruptly altered
  • remet and met some amazing people from the AH
  • stopped trying to force stories to come out
  • started working on what I was producing and taking to heart the grammar, tone, feel of the stories so that what I wanted to convey was actually what was coming out
  • wrote a few 'goodbye' stories and found out I was okay with them
  • said goodbye to my mother for the final time and reaffirmed that I had made it this far without her I sure as heck could continue on that way
  • found Him still there holding me and telling me that I was amazing, still didn't believe Him... yet
  • realized that no matter how much I wanted people's heart to be what their lips said its not true
  • stood with tears in my eyes as He get me in front of His family and asked me to be in His heart for always... and I finally believed Him
  • realized that He was 'The One'... well duh
  • gained a few 'sisters' at the same time losing
  • learned that I am going to be fine and that the best is yet to come

That was beautiful...and almost a story in and of itself. Congratulations Lizzy. :rose:
 
I learned that i prefer my friends at lit and received more help and encouragement from them, with no strings attached than i did my 'friends' in my physical world!
Thanks everyone :heart: :rose:

What will I remember from 2005?

(Okay so some of this goes back to 2004 but it's all there.)

Going through three (3) Hurricanes in less than twelve months.
Surviving, and learning from it, (or should I say re-learning,) that life isn't about what you have, it's about who you have.

Thinking my wife had Breast Cancer. (She didn't as we found out a month later.)

My mother going through a Aortic Aneurism Repair.

Moving to what turns out to be not quite as nice as we thought a house.

Meeting and helping a new friend after Wilma.

Helping my neighbors, and seeing their faces as this crazy assed White Boy helps them survive after Hurricane Wilma.

Standing up for what I believe in, and pounding a wife beater twice my size into a grease stain, and getting away with it. :D

Getting some of the best feedback ever on a couple of my stories.

Starting an erotic novel.

Finding out just how much my wife means to me.

Meeting some people here on Lit. and becoming friends with them even though I have never met them in person. (My door is always open to them, and they know it.)

Cat
 
I celebrated a birthday.

Funny how Im like 24 and stuff and I dont remember having a birthday before but thats ok it was still fun even if it was only me and Darnoel celebrating and stuff

Debbie :heart:

Are those available in the drugstore without a prescription from your doctor? :confused:
No you need at least three letters of reference and two character references plus the prescription from you doctor and two specialists!

Not to mention that it all comes down to whether or not the drug in question is OK with the pharmacist's moral convictions... :rolleyes:

Oh yes indeed. So you better trudge on down to the local Walgreens.
 
  • The birth of my doll baby nephew and all the heart wrenching emotions that has gone along with a difficult year while he's had surgery from a birth defect and new complications arose.
  • Going on a once in a lifetime vacation and meeting my best friend (who I met online 3 years ago) for the first time.
  • Visiting Mount Rushmore. Awe inspiring.
  • My littlest one breaking his collarbone. First broken bone for any of my kids.
  • Coming to the realization that if I didn't do something about my weight, my bad knee and hip would eventually give out on me, so I joined weight watchers the first part of December.
  • I've lost 7.2 pounds so far. I even lost weight during Christmas. That's an achievement in itself.
  • Participating in the Survivor Contest... and showing myself I COULD do it.
