I have to admit, I am among the many who will be happy to see 2011 in the rear-view mirror. I mean it just wasn't a good year for a lot of folks, no matter where you were in the world. Between the continued warring, horrid weather & even worse economics, 2011 was not a picnic.
I have to wonder what it must be like to the year that every one is so incredibly glad to be past. What is it like to be a disdained year? What it's like to 2011, or the year of the stock market crash, or the year a world war started, etc...? I mean, it must absolutely suck to be 2011 in comparison to some year like 1776 for the USA or even the Summer of Love 1969.
I will do my best to make my peace with 2011.
- I am thankful you are about over, but you gave me something to compare other years to
- I learned I can survive a hellish year of weather
- I know what it's like to replace a hot water heater
- I know what it's like to have a frozen pipe fixed
- I know about insurance issues
I could on, but I think I've made my point. I have to admit there's already some things I am not looking forward to in 2012. There is another round of craziness lurking in regards to another doomsday story. There are the Olympics & how can we forget in the USA it is an election year, yippie!
To 2011, I wish you a happy retirement wherever it is that years go after they've passed. To 2012, I hope you bring better tidings than your predecessor. I don't think I can stand many more life lessons.
Happy New Year's Eve
Cya
