It seems that 2008 has been roundly panned, in the press, on the blogs, on some chat boards, and around my office. And with good reason too.
It's been a suck-ass year. Suck-ass things have happened. The economy went to hell (or maybe just further to hell). Work got un-fun. I was set aside by what I thought was my closest friend. n My car got totalled, and it hurt. I struggled with feeling jealous and petty and spiteful. I fought with my mother.
Good things have happened too, make no mistake. Inspector lives with me now, and that is a very very good thing. I got (finally) a fat raise. I have very good friends who make me laugh and do outrageous and fun things with me. My daughter, though a challenge, is the absolute joy of my life. My friend, G, who wasn't with us for a while is slowly but surely making her way back to us I am blessed beyond measure. And I am smart enough to know it.
Still, I am looking forward to 2009. And ready to stick my tongue out to this year as we leave it in our wake.
Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.
