"Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight."
--Ben Franklin
I figured that a quote from good ol' Benny would be appropriate to welcome the new year.
gah, the first sensation i felt this new years morning was my wisdom tooth pushing through my gums. im starting to feel a little better, after being sick since x-mas and like losing my voice for the past 3 days.
i didnt know until this morning, but i found out my cousin is being shipped to iraq. my family and i plan to visit him at the airport before he leaves. i feel a bit awkward about the whole thing. meaning i have the deepest sympathy for my cousin for being shipped to war ala george w. bush. but what do i tell my cousin. "good luck (i hope you come back alive)"? no...everything one can say if infested with certain connotations.
i suppose ill tell him, "ill see you in 18 months."
already, this year is beginning to become significant for me. i just hope alls well that ends well. ill try to "keep in the sun"....
