2014 seemed very, very long. It has been a rough year for a lot of people, myself included. Friends and family members have been hit by illness, financial hardship, emotional firestorms, losses of loved ones. Some very good people are no longer with us. On the other hand, there was also a bunch of good stuff. Hugs, creativity, fun, laughter, fellowship, kindness. Most people consider New Years Day to be a rebirth, a restart, a cleaning of the slate and a new beginning. I dont disagree. But, one of the most important things Ive learned this year – from the way Im eating now, how I have to reset my carb count every day – is that every day can be a new beginning. And, if you mess up, rather than wallow in defeat, you start over again, and you keep at it. Sometimes the world can pummel the everloving shit out of you. To the point where it seems impossible to go on. Its not. It may be bloody difficult sometimes, but its not impossible. Youre only defeated when you give up. And, hey – weve all made it this far. Despite the universes best efforts, here we are on the cusp of 2015. May the new year ease off a tad on the tears and sorrow and anger and bullshit, and instead bring us all hope and joy and love and delight. I love all of you, my friends. Be safe, be well, be loved.
