It’s been a long, draining, sad year. There have been a few bright spots — one or two have burned exceptionally bright, and been exceptionally comforting throughout — but I can definitely say that this past year has been one of my roughest to date. Separation from your spouse is not an easy thing, even if you’re the one that left. If I’d known it would be this hard, I don’t think I would even have had the guts to try.

Lesson learned this year: take joy where you can find it.

I want 2005 to be a steady year. An improving year; one that will help me feel like my feet are firmly planted somewhere. One that will let me put down roots, even if they’re in a rental apartment. :) Fireworks and glitter are always welcome, but a solid hug will work just as well for me right now.

Resolution: to be kinder this year.

High hopes for everyone’s 2005. Cheers…
