A Few Words To Welcome 2010

There’s no real reason for this post, other than the fact that I just wanted to write something on the first day of the new year. I know everyone goes into each new year with a certain amount of optimism, but I really do feel like 2010 is going to be a good year. A lot of things are already in motion for me, and if only a few of them pan out, it’s going to be great.
We face a lot of challenges this year, but I’m emboldened by that, not intimidated in any way. I’ve always been one who rises to the occasion in the face of adversity, and I’ll meet these problems head-on. Hopefully we’ll emerge somewhere on the other side, stronger and more determined than ever to live a good life.
If you’re reading this, I think you for stopping by. I hope 2010 is a wonderful year for you and your family, and that you can weather your hardships with grace and style. I hope you’ll also remember at those moments between the difficulties that what we possess is a right fine life, that even in its worst travails is a wondrous and magickal experience. But mostly, I hope that you remain safe, happy and relatively disease free. May 2010 be a boring one for you. The exciting years make for great stories, but it’s in the boring years that we find the most contentment.
For us here, now is the time to put away the Christmas decorations. The tree is coming down today. All the ornaments and relics of past holidays are being put away. We’ll put aside the old so that we may concentrate on the new. In my mind, that’s a fine way to welcome in 2010.
