Happy New Year
Dec 31
Posted: under Uncategorized.
And so another year goes into the books. The economy is in the tank, the Middle East is in turmoil, I’m fed up with the snow, and the Maple Leafs are out of a playoff spot. Kind of like a lot of other years.
I’ve been thinking about the length of a year - I’m so glad this one is over! I don’t honestly think I could deal with another month of 2008. There comes a point where my soul yearns to leap ahead into another fresh year, like a blank page. No regrets yet, no mistakes made with family, wife, children, work associates, etc. Only bright prospects as I imagine all the good things upcoming.
What would I do without seasons? The thought of Spring keeps me sane (until I get there and yearn for summer and the great outdoors!). This year is worse than usual as I’ve re-discovered motorcycling and my gorgeous Triumph sits under its cover, de-batteried, until the roads become suitable for riding.
This year brings a marriage in May for my oldest son and a youngest daughter’s 18th birthday, God willing (I never realized how many birthdays for girls were “special”). Time flies by and the world gets busier. Memo to self: take time to smell the roses.
To my readers (if any) may you have a great 2009 and God Bless!
