Happy New Year, everyone! We got back from Florida last night, but just stayed home for New Year's (as we usually do). Went outside to look at my neighbors' fireworks, but now it's just me and the SyFy Twilight Zone marathon. Jeanine's been asleep for hours.
2011 was the worst year I've ever experienced, not only for myself, but for everyone I know. Despite that, everyone I know has persevered and done new and better things -- things, in many cases, that they've never done before.
In that sense, 2011 was the best year I've ever known, in that everyone I know has tried harder and done better than they ever knew they could do. I appreciate that, and love it.
But just the same, I hope 2012 lets them not work so hard.
2011 was a real mixed bag for me - I said to someone the other day that if my 2011 was a Marvel comic, it would've been titled "Triumph...and Tragedy!" Still, I suppose that's true of alot of people.
This year was a frustrating one at work and an unsettling one at home, seeing my parents' health not get better. Not to mention my own pains which I try to ignore. Thank God for my niece and nephew!
Anyway I'm hoping for a better 2012 and hoping I can make 2012 better!

Happy New Year to you both, and to all Legionnaires!
C'mon Mark, live a little!
(or do you have to get up early tomorrow?)
Happy New Year to one and all! May all your titles be mailed flat and all your boxes be filled with near mint!
