Goodbye 2011

Its almost time to say goodbye to 2011 and I cannot help but look back at all that happened this year.

This was a tough year for me.

I had fibroid surgery, got divorced, went through two failed ART cycles, grieved the loss my embryos and the loss of ever having my genetic children, had a visit to the ER and now am besieged with this mystery pain. I can only hope and pray that 2012 is better.

On the bright side, my parents kept good health, I went on a fabulous vacation to Rome, I stayed employed which in this economy is a miracle unto itself and I started blogging which has been a tremendous stress reliever.

I am always pensive on New Year's Eve. Maybe its the fear of not knowing what the next 365 days will bring - good things or bad.

What I do know for sure is that 2012 will be the last year of my TTC. 

If I am not successful in getting pregnant, then I will close that door knowing I tried my best and this time next year I will be making plans of how to live my life footloose, fancy-free and childless.

Oh and I am not making any resolutions this year since last year I reneged on most of them, so why bother.

Moving on to other things.

I had a good yoga class. It was my favourite instructor and I was finally able to give her the gift I had bought for Christmas. 

I was super stiff during class and my balance was a bit off since I have not done a full 1.30hr class in 5 weeks, but it felt good even with all the twisting. Except when we were doing abdominal oblique exercises when my right side exploded with pain. I plugged on though since class was almost over.  Anyways, felt nice and loose afterwards. The right side pain took a couple hrs to subside which makes me wonder if its a muscle thing.

Anyway after a nice healthy lunch of grilled chicken salad, I took a nap. Now I will go for a quick 30 min walk so I don't get sore tomorrow after all the yoga.

Then I will go over to my parents to have dinner with my them, my sis and her family and we may watch a movie. I don't think I will stay until midnight but get back around 11pm and watch the ball drop. Wish I could have a drink - sigh!

Wishing all you lovely ladies a fabulous New Years Eve celebration, whether you are staying in or painting the town red!  You are a wonderful support system, and I pray that we get all our dreams answered in 2012.
