This has been the worst year of my life. Hands down. BUT... |
|
I don't know, maybe it's something that happens when you hit rock bottom and survive, but I feel that 2005 is the year that anything could happen. I really feel, for the first time in a long time, that I have a 2nd chance to be exactly who I want to be.
Today, just as a preview, a door that I had previously shut opened just a crack, and that told me to keep on fighting for what I want.
Sorry for the vague post, but does anyone else feel good about 2005, in spite of everything?

7. I've had an emotionally difficult year |
|
I'm beginning to think that my life will make a turn. I offical graduate from Grad school this Saturday, so that's something to be happy about. 2003 was a crappy year too. Hopefully, things will improve.
Remember that ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN

(from the Finn Brothers CD "Everyone is Here")
Day Has begun And I stumble To the front There's no Real control Of a random Event
And I will take my chances 'Cos anything can happen I don't believe it's over 'Cos anything can happen
I could never Give it up I could never relent And I can't Wait to see What will happen To me next
I will take my chances 'Cos anything can happen I don't believe it's over 'Cos anything can happen
It doesn't matter What we did wrong Makes no difference To me I see the light in your eyes And you're dancing free
And I'm coming down today To gather in the pieces Give in to the mystery
And I will take my chances 'Cos anything can happen Don't believe it's over 'Cos anything can happen
One day, I Someday, I
Anything can happen Yeah, anything can happen
I will make it shine I will make it rain sometime

15. Its been difficult for me too and the last couple of weeks well they just. |
|
pushed me to the brink. I'm planning on retiring in a couple of months and a few Republican friends are urging me to take a position with county government. They have offered it to me several times. My answer now is to call me in 9 months and I will gladly take it on. I have a few things to do around my house and have to complete some writing I promised. 2005 could be fine, 2006 even better.
They say all politics are local so my advice is to get involved and do something that directly effects your life or others.

16. I ran for school board in 2002. |
|
A complete political novice, I ran such a dedicated and positive campaign, that even though I lost in the primary, I had Republicans call me afterwards and ask me to run on their ticket.
Running as a Republican is the only way to win in my neck of the woods, but I could never do it. Best of luck to you, though.

17. I think 2004 just had some bad juju or something |
|
Seems like just about everyone I know is saying, "This has been the worst year of my life!" So, we're not alone.

19. Yes, and I'm not sure why |
|
2004 had its ups and downs, but I'm feeling remarkably sanguine about 2005.
