Happy New Year

Like most people, I love new beginnings: new years, new journals, new books. All the fresh starts and possibilities! But as tempting as it is to say good riddance to 2011, it brought good things as well as bad, just like every year does. Some years we just need to look a little harder for the good than we do other years.  For me, getting a cancer diagnosis was bad. But the peace I have found and am still finding is so very good. It helps that this cancer may take so long to kill me that everyone will be completely bored by the time it finally does. Or I may be hit by a truck or a meteorite way before then.

In the meantime, I have a resolution for 2012:  I’ll be checking in here more often. I’ll be reading your blogs more often. It’ll be a good place to rest in between organizing all my photos, recording all my passwords, making a financial spreadsheet, purging and reorganizing the file cabinets, oh Lord have mercy.

You’d be surprised how many times I think about you, even you whom I’ve never met. As my She likes to say, “Tah dah!” Happy New Year, y’all. Peace be with you.

  2. I hope your next year is filled with peace and happiness. I love reading your blog and would find it a tragedy if you were struck by a truck! Stay safe.

  3. ...or a meteorite. Getting hit with either seems un-fun!

  4. The meteorite would at least be more memorable, if not for you.

    But keep looking upwards.

    Happy New Year.

  5. I think of you often,too, Sharon, and wish you joy and tranquillity in 2012. I'm just selfish enough to hope that your resolutions include writing more blog posts---I do love your writing.

    All the best to you and those you love...
