Finally 08 is gone. Not such a great year. It was fine for me except for the loss of Marty. I still miss him terribly and wonder if he is alive or not. I hate not knowing.
Last year I thought, 'crap, another election year'. It proved the usual thing again with all the hate mongering and bashing. I can't stand it. Mr. Obama will have a honeymoon period because we want him to succeed and there's a lot at stake.
My problem is I fear loss and wonder what will I lose this year? What will we lose this year? I know it's a lousy way to feel, but that's how I've always been. Maybe it's a way to lessen any pain if I expect it. I don't dwell in this, but it's a thought I wish I didn't have every January 1st.
In the present. We just have to get through a back to normal winter in Montana. Fun roads to drive on, lots of snow, wild temperatures, etc. The only problem is it doesn't clear out the riff raff anymore. We non skiers just have to keep plugging away and wait for a distant spring.
On my headstone someday - "Spring always comes"
