Welcome

2007 was a year to remember. And a year to learn from.

I regret nothing. It is a matter of perspective how the events of the passing year should be taken. It is a step in the right direction though, whatever direction that may be.

This year, I have loved. Maybe even been loved. I have learned. And I have accepted.

I have accepted where I am and what I cannot have. I have accepted the pain and darkness that seems to come from nowhere more readily than I have before. Sometimes it is better to hurt than to feel nothing. And I have accepted the loneliness that is emotional as best as I can.

One day it will be my turn to have an amazing year. It makes me laugh at the thought. Because when that year comes, I will not know how to act or what to do.

Who knows when that year will come. This year. Next year. Five or even ten years from now.

Welcome to 2008.

May your year be full of hope and happiness. And may 2007 have been a year of enlightenment and happiness even if in just the little things.

And I thank each of you that keep coming back. You are kind and good. Thank you for staying with me over the trials that this year has brought.
