Another Year

Since losing Quinn, I am always saddened when I leave one of the worst years behind; while at the same time hopeful for a better year ahead.

This year, I rang in 2008 at work with a good friend and one of the residents. I was happy to see 2007 go, but at the same time, I felt sad for what may or may not lie ahead of me in 2008.

Will a child be a part of this year? I doubt it. The only saving grace in this thought is knowing that my heart won't be shredded to a million pieces at all this year.

So, with the thoughts and intention of making 2008 a "happier, no more dead children" year, I feel obligated to share my resolutions. First, I want to lose a pile of weight. And my only other resolution is to *try* and be a happier, positive person. But to do this, I have to take a step at a time and just simply put one foot in front of the other and follow which way life takes me.
