It's the last day / evening of 2011. A new year is about to begin. My last post of this year.
I'm at home - not out and about to watch fireworks and celebrate the new year. I'm with family and that's where I think that I need to be. At least I know that I'm safe and sound. I'm not out drinking - or in a car where there are people out and about that are drinking and driving.
Looking back over the last year, there have been a lot of ups and downs. Lots of pain, heartache and frustration in so many ways and yet - there were some of the most wonderful things that happened in my life. Friends that I got to meet in person for the first time and even the second time. New friends touching my life and getting a chance to touch them as well.
We still have about 30 minutes left in the year of 2011... and in those 30 minutes I'm not going to make new years resolutions. I have tried to do resolutions in the past and either something has happened and I wasn't able to keep up the resolution or I simply forgot about them.
So, instead of making resolutions - I'm just going to live life and enjoy it. Enjoy my friends and family and pray and hope that all my friends and family are safe and happy. That's all that I can hope for anyway. I'm not too worried about myself - I know that the people that I mingle with (co-workers and friends) will help me to keep my stress level down, my doctor(s) will help me with my back in one way or another, my family will keep me insane, school will keep me insane, and audio will help to relax me as usual.
I am thankful for this year.... for my job.... for my friends.... for my family.... for everything.
May the year of 2012 be something that will bring more joy, more happiness, more healthiness, and less pain.
