New Years Eve

Ah, the gaping maw of the new year is upon us…and as I look into the behemoth of a mess this world is about to step over into, I am awed at how much hope and joy I have encountered this year. Despite the destitution we all seem to be facing at the moment, and the trials we have been through in 2008, it seems to me that most of my friends and family truly believe that this year will be better, that our goals will be accomplished. And to be honest, I believe it too.

I feel and look better than I have in years. I have more confidence. And even though there are a lot of really scary new things just off into the future, I am not as afraid to face them as I have been in the past. Maybe it’s the structure of friendships that have built up around me in this last year, maybe it’s being on my own for once, even with the support I have, but I think that I can jump headlong into life in 2009, and that it really will be a successful undertaking.

Bring it on world! I can take it! Make it mine! Beat it sensless! Watch me!
