new year-new man

well all in all an ok year. i didn’t stick to my resolutions all that long but i did make it 2/3 of the way through the “bible in a year thing”. and i have done numerous things that “old scott” would never do. in fact, cory just said the other day “old scott is dead”. i got divorced 4/13 which turned out to be the most positive thing i ever did for myself.  i fell in love twice and got my heart broken twice but i dont regret it. i broke two hearts so perhaps i deserved it. i got a job change i wanted, grew leaps and bounds in my photo taking and cooking hobbies, and started voice lessons again. its funny to see how things have come “full circle” this year. i used to always think little of myself in comparison to cory (appearance wise) and the other day he said he was jealous of all the female attention i have gotten lately. the other night we ran into my first kiss/first girlfriend from 8th grade. it was so neat to meet her as an adult and have time to reminisce. saddest things of the past year would have to be the two heartbreaks and the deaths of my favorite opera singer, Luciano Pavarotti (9/6/07) and favorite football player, Sean Taylor #21 (11/21/07). i am most thankful that i am still healthy and for the health of my family and friends. i am thankful that cheryl made it through surgery successfully and that sue and don are finally adopting. the greatest moments of 2007 were the times with Amy and Caleb, Amanda and Autumn, first kiss with Amanda, Red Sox winning the world series, this past weekend with Cory and my concert this past April, plus good times with my family. the things i am most looking forward to in 2008 are the arrival of my new nephew and hopefully opportunities to pay tribute to Pavarotti. Peace and best wishes.
