No, I am not mad at anybody. The bitch I am referring to is 2012. I along with the rest of my family are glad to see this year gone. For the first time in a number of years I am going to stay up to see the new year in. This year it is not so much about seeing the new one in as seeing the old one out, gone, finished, do not want a do over!
Dumbass and I had a conversation last week about psychics and how some people believe in them. If you do that is your right and I don't judge you for your belief. I personally do not. I think that is an avenue that some people have found to make a good living. Many psychics depend on repeat business so if you are able to see the future do you want to deliver news to someone that the whole damn year is gonna suck. How would that work for having them to come back for more. Had someone told me a year ago that during the next year that both of my brothers would be diagnosed with cancer and that both would die before the year is out I think I would have just gone ahead and run away, far, far away. If you had told me that our mother who I have told you has very advanced Alzheimer's would in just a matter of days would go from someone still walking around and feeding themselves to being bed ridden and being fed a pureed diet I would have been skeptical about that also. And if I had sat down with you and you had told me all that, I promise you that I would not have given you any more of my hard earned money! But yet that is what the year has been like. I much think I prefer not knowing and being able to depend on God's grace to get me through these things at the time they are happening. No, I just lied, I don't think I would prefer it I know that is what I prefer. There have been other things throughout the year that pretty much sucked (and I am sorry there is just not a better description) but these are the big things.
But on a positive note through all this crap I have seen one of my grandsons become a Christian this year. I have had friendships become stronger this year. I have learned more about my own strength than what I wanted to know. The year has not been all bad but I still am ready to see 2013 get here. I can only hope it is a better year than the past one has been. I am still saying there is a better day coming. And yes I will still continue to say there is joy in the journey even though the journey through 2012 seems to have been paved with tears. Here is hoping that the journey of 2013 is paved with laughter and tears of joy. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
