2007 A New Life

Well, it's January 1, 2007 (2:38 am) and I'm still kicking and ready to tackle another year head-on to see if I can stay upright and greet 2008. 2008, doesn't that sound so far away from the worldwide celebration of the great Y2K (2ooo for those of you who may have passed out and missed it)? I survived 2006 and it was a rough ride, but I face this new year with a renewed appreciation for the life I lead. I have the 4 greatest kids in the world, I have someone who loves me and I'm remembering how to be happy. I'm moving on and my smile and sense of joy,wonder and bemusement at the absurdities of this world and the people in it have returned. May 2007 be a new life for each and every one of us, each day is an adventure to be savored and enjoyed, and if something tries to spoil that day-deal with it as best you can. Nothing's guaranteed, so live each day as if you may not see the morning sun and you'll find yourself enriched for the experience. Life sucks at times, but I've learned (especially over the last several years) that if you're waiting for someone else to lead you out of the muck and mire, you'd best be prepared to wait a long while. You have to take responsibility for your own happiness and since I have, I've found that good things and good people are all around. And if you're real lucky, you just might fall in love.
