long december and there's reason to believe that maybe this year will be better than the last...

I sat up late with one of my best friends the other night,talking about how we will look back on 2008.We decided to call it a "learning year" because it was moch nicer than the alternative.At first all we could seem to think of was the way that we had been worked over by this year(deaths,bullshit,the drama llama coming home to roost,medical clusterfucks,malfunctions,and major disasters)But by the end of the conversation,we had decided that it was just a year of learning limitations(and learning how to use them)and finding out exactly who we are.

I guess that I am really glad that this year is almost over.It's been a hard one,but I am in a better place than I was at this time last year.Maybe not financially,but in many other ways.I know that I am stronger,and I have stopped sticking my head in the sand when it comes to keeping up with what is happening in the world.

All in all,I am ready for 2009.I think this will be a year of broadening horizons for me and of finding adventure whereever I can.Life is what you make it.
