I got an e-mail today from friend who said he was going to try to find good things in the new year to look forward to, and what about me. I replied that I was getting into my crash helmet and flak jacket and taking my baseball bat and hiding in the closet. Now, you may be thinking, "Holy cow, that Mimi's finally gone over the edge. Get the padded cell ready."
The truth is I have avoided thinking about the coming new year, or making those things, those nasty things that start with R. Yes, those. Resolutions. I'm not much into resolutions because I always end up breaking them.
I thought 2005 was bad, until I got to 2006. Some years Fate just decides it's your turn to get dumped on. And I admit it. I was. It was a hard year. But I learned a lot, some things I should have figured out a long time ago. I had a hard time with depression this year. That damn disease runs in cycles though, and right now, for today, things are okay. That's how I tend to look at things these days. One day at a time.
One of the brightest things about 2006 has been SoulCast. It came along at just the right time. Thank you for accepting me, oddball wheelchair queen that I am. I look forward to getting to know you all better in 2007.
What I will try very hard to do over the coming year is keep an open mind and heart. Whatever comes, I'll just deal with it. Hike up my drawers and suck it up and deal. It's a hell of a lot better than the alternative.
I wish you all an outstanding 2007.
