The last time I felt promise entering a new year was in 2006. Everything was hitting its stride in my life as I loved my job and my girlfriend was finally out of school and we could be planning for a life together.
Then 2007 began with the destruction of that relationship. In 2008 I hoped for something better and didn’t get it. Hanging on was the hope for 2009. By 2010 I started to feel better and the rolled into 2011.
Now for 2012, I see the economy picking up and for the first time since I was a freshman in college, I can see the light at the end of the credit card debt tunnel – the first paycheck in March hopefully.
I’m also going to begin a project real soon that could help pave the way towards something new.
So, it’s with this promise that 2012 will finally help me reach a place that I hadn’t seen in six years. I can’t believe it has been that long.
Then again, the world is supposed to end this year. It’s just my luck.
