Closing Time

My new year greeting to my favorite ladies went like this:

“Closing time every new beginning is some other new beginning’s end. Here’s to our wonderful new beginnings in 2010. I just know 2010 is going to be fabulous. Why? Because we freaking deserve it after everything we went through in 2009″

Yes, 2009 was difficult — very difficult! It’s not even just one event but just the combination of things which happened last year which made for one heart-wrenching year. 2009 made me question mortalities, moralities, friendships, relationships, parenting, and my self-worth.  It was as if God was telling me that he gave me so much and yet I’m still dissatisfied and ungrateful so he decided to shake things up a bit and show me just how much I had by taking a lot of things away.

The brutal method might have worked on me. The amount of difficulty in 2009 was tantamount to the lessons learned that same year. I think 2009 was a year of lessons not only for me but for most of my friends. I surely hope I learned the lessons 2009 wants to teach me because I sure as hell don’t want another beating like that of 2009.

I’m ready to for the fabulous like 2010…bring it on!
