My first words of 2006. We have just come back from a
party where we danced and toasted and drank (mine was a
latte) and cheered the new year in. I can't say that I
had a good time or really enjoyed myself, but at least I
made an effort. He will leave tomorrow around noon to
stay with his parents and then leave for good on Monday
morning. I'm not asking whether we will see each other
again before he leaves. I might not be able to handle
the answer. I am weak and my spirit is sore.
I will begin seeing things differently this year. I
hope to look back a year from now and be a happier
person. I hope the New Year's Eve party next year is a
better one than tonight and I hope to have something
happening on a professional scale with my writing.
However, I think that is wishful thinking. But I must
keep hope alive for all good things to enter.
So whatever it is you are seeking, whereever it is
that you go, whoever you find to love or bond with, may
all things grow more dear and sweetly throughout the New
Year.
