Out with the old, in with the new....

Happy new year everyone. 2011 is drawing to a close finally. As I write this on new years eve I take a little time to reflect on the previous year. Alot has happened.. both good and bad, as im sure it has been for many folks. I've had alot of new experiences, some of which i will never forget in my lifetime. These are the things that memories are made of and well theres no replacing life experiences. The bad, well as the clock hits 12:00 am i'll try to forget, and leave in the past.

The good things however, well like i said they are things that make life worth living. I am blessed, i know, I have good health ( as far as i know) and i make decent money, yes its not the greatest, but there are many by far worse off than i am. Family, for the most part is few, but those that are there have my love, and i know i have theirs. My job is great, i work with talented and exceptional people that not only am i lucky enough to call friend as well as co-workers.

My friends however, are my real riches. I dont have a ton of close friends, but i do have a very few select few that i know i could count on no matter what. I konw this because i feel it from them. Not in words always, not in deed always, but i do feel that the small close group of friends that i have have blessed me by having them in my life. I dont need to name names, but I hope they konw who they are. I hope they konw i love them and will do anything i can for them. I hope they know that even though i dont say it enough or show it all the time I love them, am thankful for them, and appreciate them in my life. They are a speial group, full of surprises, intelligence, laughter, and love.(although they dont know it, and dont see them as i see them, I hope they know how much they mean to me)

Material things come and go, but a true friend is forever. In 2012 i hope that i am blessed to continune my relationships with them, get closer with them, and enjoy them more. I hope they feel the same for me, as i do them. I hope that the bad thigns that happen in life are small and trivial in 2012, and i hope we all can be stronger, better off, and better people in the coming year.

Benjamin franklin once said "Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and may each new year find you a better man". I sure hope that this is the case for me, and i wish each of you my best wishes in future finances, friendship, love, and happiness. May peace be with you, and know that im there for you as a friend if you need me. :)
