new year’s eve

Things change and yet they remain the same. I’m spending this New Year’s Eve in much the same way that I did last year. Alone in my apartment watching fireworks over the city.

Only this year I have heat. And I’m drinking champagne instead of wine. And I’m happier and more settled. 2007 was a very full year. I feel like a broken record, but some days I still can’t believe this is my life.

There were some major high points and some very low ones. But I wouldn’t take any of it back. Not one second.

I enter into 2008 knowing that I am once again at a major crossroad. One that is a little scary but I think I’m more excited about the possibilities to come than I am scared of them. I know myself a little better. I’m grounded in ways that I wasn’t last year.

There will be resolutions and posts about the crossroads. All that will come tomorrow. Now that I’ve discarded the dead mouse that was in my bedroom when I came home. Eew. Where did it come from? This would have been a good night NOT to be single. Now that I’ve read my work e-mail (I didn’t have access to it while I was at home for some reason.) Now that my champagne is open, I’m off to ring in the new year.

May the best of the past be the worst of the future.

Cheers.
