This year, I laughed a lot...but often spent time in shadows. This year I got mad too much, despite knowing that rage is a foolish thing. This year I made new friends, but my brother stopped talking to me. This year, I didnt spend enough time at Church but I spent more time in prayer. This year I didnt meet the woman of my dreams...but I did finally walk away from the one woman who would have been my nightmare. This year, I spent a lot of money on cigars. But I gave a lot to homeless people. This year, my Jeep got older and my hair got more grey. But I discovered I no longer care what people think of me. This year, I made love passionately..with an animal-like ferocity. This year, I found more comfort in being alone then in the company of others. This year I made my Mother worry too much. This year my niece told me I was the best Uncle...ever. This year, I felt guilty watching American flags draped over caskets. I felt helpless, as brother & sisters pointed different colored fingers at one another. I felt proud, dressing like a geek as Batman, in a charity run. I felt sad, to see #2 retire. I felt silly, smokin a cigar wearing only my Calvin Kliens...as my neighbors walked by. I felt tired, beating my fists into a heavy bag...trying to make the memories fade away. I gave advice I didnt follow. I helped. I hurt. I made some laugh. I made others cry. This year, I was a sinner covered in my iniquity. This year, I was Forgiven...none the less. This year, I reached an open hand and pulled someone up. This year, I made a fist and took someone down. This year, I didnt allow myself to hate. This year, I too often forgot to love. And as the clock strikes midnight, I will give thanks. To He who is Faithful...even when I am not. Happy New Years to my Facebook Family!!! ( the dysfunctional mess we are!)
