We brought in 2003 with a quiet party, just a few friends over. We made some tasty deep-dish pizzas, had tiramisu and banana pudding, and drank a wee bit of wine (four…no, five dead soldiers in the recycling bin). I should have taken pictures, but it’s impolite to embarrass your friends.
Before we went to bed (very late) last night, Takaza and I discussed the past year. 2002 was a wild year, with lots of ups and a few downers. While I could have done without the downers, they provided me with opportunities for growth and a chance to re-examine what is really important to me. First off, any year spent with Dan is a good year. That’s a fact. In addition, this year taught me the importance of my friends – rustitobuck, linnaeus, datahawk, partran, mirkowuff, brophey, rasslor, aerofox, loriana, hartree, Jen, Tracie, the NC Gang, and everyone else who graced our house this year, or who were just a part of our lives. Y’all have kept me sane, made me feel loved, given me the support I needed when things were down, and made what could have been a crappy year a pretty darned good one. Thank you all very, very much.
And for the new year? I don’t make resolutions, but I’ll bend that rule here: I resolve to spend more time with our friends and to make our lives, and theirs, richer for the experience. Peace, everyone.
I was asked last night what my new years resolution was, and I replied “I refuse to limit the possibility of change to only once a year.”
I soooo know what you are saying here… 2002 brought with it the most extream emotional ups and downs I have EVER experienced… the lows… they were always over work… money… money and work… lack of money and lack of work…lack of time… lack of time to find work…and the removal of the original startrek series from the 6pm timeslot on SciFi …
The highs.. those were always marked by the presences of friends. Where at least I could forget about work..money.. money and work…lack… er you get the picture 😛
Anyway *HUGS* glad that I could reciprocate in making your days happier ones.. for you and Takaza certainly helped me. Thaks *nuz*
-PS – I wasn’t really serious about the Star Trek thing… 😛
Thanks Duncan, we feel the same way about you guys. *hug*
*hugs* thanks Duncan 🙂
Both you and Takaza mean alot to me as well. I wish you both the very best
and hope that good employment and a move close to Chicago happens for both
of you soon 🙂
It was a year of ups and downs for me as well. I hope 2003 is a year of good change
for all of us.
