New Year
In light of the fact that tonight is Old New Year's Eve, I think it would be a good time to update and to reflect on the last year.
For the most part, it was a great year. Of course the best part of it was that I got to keep the greatest blessing ever bestowed upon me... I've got to enjoy and keep the greatest love I've ever known from the greatest man that has ever entered my life. His generousity, kindness, convictions, morals, abilities, knowledge, wisdom, and most of all, unconditional love for me are like no other. And this past year, thankfully, brought a question I've been waiting to hear uttered from his lips... and of course a "Yes" from mine. Last year brought faith; it brought a chance to reconnect with a part of me that has been hidden for over 9 years; it brought an opportunity to believe and to become a better person. Last year brought the beginning of my medical education and hopefully a foundation for my future career. Last year has brought some incredible friendships, but unfortunately, it has also dissolved some. Sometimes I wonder how things like that happen; how do we get to a point where someone we've once called our friend we now cannot even think about without cringing in pain and sinking deep in the ground from all the hurtful things said and done. How did we get here? Where and when did it all go wrong? Why didn't someone interfere and straightened us out? I guess those are always the questions left unanswered. Those are just some of the questions that could potentially bring about closure, but alas, closure doesn't seem to be in the forecast. As the new year is rolling in, it will wash away the pains of the year gone by, and as all wounds, these will heal as well, but as all wounds, they will leave scars... some deeper than others... to remind us of the past that helped to mold us into who we are. And as disappointing as some events of 2005 may be, I regret none. The good by far outweighed the bad, so that's a start.
And now that it's seven minutes past midnight, it's officially Old New Year's Day. So HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone!!! May the new year wash away the pains and sorrows of yesteryear and give you a fresh start at everything you are trying to accomplish. Burry those hatchets and go in peace. And remember, it's your last chance to make and KEEP those New Year's Resolutions you've already managed to break. As for me, I only have one this year: keep my sanity, or whatever's left of it. Some may argue I never had it to begin with... but I'll just plead the 5th! ;)
So Happy Old New Year Everyone! And remember, love someone today... it will change your life forever.
