Happy 2010.
Posted on | December 31, 2009 | No Comments
I’m never sorry to see any year filed away in the history books, least of all this one. What promised to be a good year of change ended up being a year of loss and sadness. You never can predict what life will hand you, but I learned once again, and hopefully for the last time, to rely upon myself. It’s so true that as you get older you’re more aware of how precious little time there is, that is if you’re lucky to live to an old age at all. I am grateful that my family and friends are all healthy and well; I miss my family terribly and if I have one regret in life, it’s that I ever moved away from them. Nothing I’ve achieved as a result of having done so can make up for the time I’ve lost not being able to share daily life with them. Currently living in a city, alone (except for my beloved dog, Lucy), so very far from them I feel it profoundly every day.
But each year a new opportunity presents itself to reinvent our lives and thus, there is always hope. I’ve written out my resolutions to file away in my new memory bank (as soon as Greyhound gets it here) to check in on them this time next year. I hope everyone who reads this has the time of their lives in 2010.
