2011

Just a few minutes more than 6 hours and this year is over.  I lost an uncle and an aunt.  Reconnected with my brother and sister-in-law after almost 20 years of separation and reached the complex realization that I was going to face voluntary unemployment to maintain my sense of self.  As the minutes tick away I am not sure whether I am glad this year is over or sad that this year is over.  I am nervous about the new year and that is holding my enthusiasm tightly coiled.  Tuesday I resigned my job of 12 years, and at 61 years old I will attempt a new beginning.  I love changes though.  It has been 12 years since I last threw the deck of cards that is my life up into the air.  Time to try a new hand.
