Here it is, December 5, and I'm woefully behind.
It's not even that that bothers me so much, it's the reason why that irks me. It's that this particular November 11 isn't like any past November 11. It's that, as much as everyone is saying how important it is to get back to normal, it isn't that easy. It's that, there will be so many people this year who won't have a happy holiday. Every time I think about addressing cards and putting up garland, I take a moment to think about those lost over the past year. And it's good to remember, I think.
Each year I make some quiet New Year's Resolutions. Last year, I batted 1000 on them, too. Lose weight, join a gym, start a journal and learn (partially, at least) HTML. Those were all very specific items, and they worked for me last year. This year, however, I'm going for something a bit more spiritual.
I want to find joy again. I want to set out on a voyage to discover my truth. I want to drag my everyday life kicking and screaming into the light. I want to wake up smiling each day and lay my head down smiling each evening. I want to make a difference in the life of someone else. I want to contribute. I want to create.
This year is going to require more strength, methinks.
