Reflections

I guess there is some unwritten law that if you have a blog, you must post something today about your year in review, and talk about what your goals are for the next year.

I have just been thinking about the people I lost this year, and how badly it sucks to not have those people in my life anymore. What an empty void it leaves. And how that void never goes away. And how that void can be there even if that person is still alive somewhere in this world, just no longer in your life. Even though you go on without them, that feeling is always there.

I plan on joining the local fitness center next week. I am not officially making this a New Year's resolution. It is just way past due. It needs to be done. I think I am over the fall/winter/crazy hormone/holiday stress/depression hump. I can do this.

I also need to join a writer's group or something. I have re-signed up at Writing.com, but have not posted anything yet. I need some more feedback. Suggestions. Constructive criticism. Support. Encouragement. Assurance that I am not crazy.

Will it be a good year? I don't know. I hope so. I hope it's interesting and full of craziness and greatness and everything all at once. But every year is, so I'm sure this one will be no different. I hope I am able to recognize the greatness and the craziness and the things that would make a great story, and the things that I need to store away in my mind for future stories. I hope I am able to recognize my own needs and how to keep myself healthy in every way. I hope I can feel the love all around me and remember that it's always there. That's all I can ask for.
