New Year Part 1 Wednesday, Dec 29 2004

With the New Year closing in I ask myself "What do I want to change?". Of course I want to quit smoking and have control of my drinking but what else do I want to change? Last year was probably the roughest year of my life. It was trying and out of control. I faced some demons and had to really look inside of myself to regain my faith. I am going into this year stronger and I want to take advantage of that. I do know that I will resolve some issues that are hanging over my head in one way or another. I am not going to take part in this stupid game that keeps cycling around. Instead I will concentrate on myself and my relationships. I am going to take back what is mine and leave the rest. The bike is going to catch hell that is all I know. I plan to being stronger on the bike than ever before. I have a game plan and a partner as determined as myself.

This year was surreal for me. I intimately experienced utter heartbreak, dizzying happiness, true companionship, physical and emotional challenges, and tests of what it means to stand by someone come what may. I have learned how the bittterness of one seemingly insignificant life can cast a huge shadow of cynicism, injury, and confusion; but I have also seen how the beauty of one soul can lift many others’ strength and standards.
I, too, am stronger for it all; I wouldn’t change it, but am excited to move forward to happier and healthier times and adventures. And, most especially, am excited to do so with you.
