Musings of a Compulsive Thinker

New beginnings?

And here we are at the onset of another year. The clocks have ticked over, the calendars are brand-new. Everyone talks about New Year's resolutions and a "fresh start for the new year." Really, what is New Year's Day but a marker along a long, continuing road?

2005, as years go, ran the board. It was astonishingly lousy, depressing, outrageously funny, and surprisingly pleasant, among other things, in turns. We had a death in the family, then a birth; I turned 21, attended a few weddings, had surgery, changed academic majors, failed some classes, aced others. Having come through all these things, I still have my close family and they still love me (go figure); I have my health; I have good friends; I have my faith. Life is not bad. And onwards, hopefully upwards, things continue; and the earth keeps right on spinning.
