A new year, a new out look

Well interesting enough weekend. On Friday had a good day at an after school program that had me as an American Civil War soldier showing the kids stuff, letting them try on things and doing drill. All rather fun and getting me back into mental shape for school tours this summer at the Fort.

Selling off lots of reenacting gear, and sadly getting out of the Roman era of reenacting. Impossible to try to do 3 era's, when 1 is hard enough. Also sold a ton of relics off a few weeks ago at a Civil War show.

Seems so hard to let things go. Many of these items I've had for 1 to 5 years, and letting go was a bit difficult. But, I think it's helping me let go of other issues as well. The loss of friends I've grown apart from to much to really connect with which are people who AREN'T on my Facebook, past loves, and of course the items themselves. I've gotten rid of so much of my old stuff and bought so many new pieces of modern clothing, I hardly seem the same person as even a year ago.

Though the past year has generally sucked with few exceptions, it's made me grow, push myself and really find what I want, rather than what I think I want.

So the sun sets now on one part of my life, it shines anew on another, a new year and a new beginning and a new out look!

Oh, and one of these days I'll be writing about travel!
