As I gladly send 2008 off into the past, I want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year! Let us hope that 2009 brings everyone nothing but good health, utter happiness and joy and good fortunes in life, love and work.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers during a rough 2008.
As for New Years Resolutions, I am only making one.
I am letting go of everything in the past. All the hurt, sadness, loss, anger, resentment, disappointment and malaise of the past.
To wit, I have spent the day - when not shoveling the snow we got here in Boston - shredding papers (except of source stuff I need to complete 2008 taxes) that cover everything from past job CYA files, to my grandparents care and records, past legal issues, jobs records, personal records, health records, travel information and finances. It is a real world attempt to symbolize my resolution of letting go and starting fresh.
So here is to starting 2009 with nothing. What comes, comes. What does not come, I will not miss.
So to 2009, I start it with no job and nothing owned. But also no debt and nothing owed. I am letting go of the past on all fronts. So I have no hurt, anger, resentment, sadness or fear. And, no expectations, promises or to do list.
2009 will be whatever it will be.
And God willing, it will be a year filled with hope, good surprises, good opportunities both personal and professional and most of all, full of good friends, like all of you.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
