I love a new year. And poised at the edge of 2011, I feel all thick with potential, like I’m on the brink of something perfect-- a funny combination of slipping into my favorite t-shirt fresh from the dryer and combining it with boots that are ten feet tall.
The more distance I put between me and 2009, the happier I get. Now that the barricade’s a nice solid twelve months deep, I can finally slow down enough to look around again. Enjoy the scenery a little. Notice that there is scenery.
On New Year’s Eve, we went out for Thai food. My fortune cookie said, “Your path is arduous but will be amply rewarding.”
Was, I thought. Was arduous. Now it’s time for the ‘amply rewarding’ portion of our show.
Welcome, 2011.

Love this post. I hope I can say the same things at the start of 2012.
