Goodbye 2009!

(Wrote this in December of 2009)

As the curtain falls on 2009, I cannot help but look back with both nostalgia and relief. To a year that was at once as great as it was among the worst. A year that brought with it as much gain as it did loss.

To the year that handed me its fair share of heartbreaks, where I loved with great intensity and hated with about the same. My expectations were by far exceeded and still my expectations were not met.

I stumbled, fumbled, fell and broke but still I got up mended and unbroke. I caused pain and brought tears with the same heart that comforted and embraced. I left, was left. I let go, was let go and so the circle goes on..

Awesome memories were made and not so awesome ones still linger. Memories that I may want the whole world to be party to and others that make me cringe and flinch.

Angels I met along the way and will forever be with me along my way. Others, well... but in a special way I was moulded by it all.

To this year I say it was great to know you but maybe its time I moved on. You are right I have no idea what the next will bring but how else will I find out?
