For some reason or another I did not feel like New Years came in with a big bang. It sorted came in when the clock struck 12 - like "Hey, Happy New Year?" Perhaps it was just my sentiment. And for the first time in many years both kids were almost sleep. I actually woke them up to me blowing the horns and yelling with my mother. I do not know if that was the over all sentiment of folks, but the days following New Years - as I was wishing people "Happy New Years" - folks were like thanks? Then I said to myself, maybe with the events of Hurricane Sandy and the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT - people just were not feeling it! And that is perfectly understandable. With the economy the way it is, people out of work and can't find jobs - money is tight all around - people are not in a celebratory mood.
I could not help to be selfish and think how grateful I am for all that I have - which is not much. But as I stated a few months ago, I am looking forward to relocating this year! This would be the first time I ever lived in a house! And I will be able to raise my children in a home where they can play in the backyard! So many of my friends after high school went on to complete college (in which I left after 18 mos), now have spectacular jobs with a big house, two new vehicles - "seemingly" the perfect life! While for the past ten years I sat behind regretting my past decisions.
Hopefully all that will be behind me now. I am finally going to achieve the impossible American Dream! I will finally complete my B.A. degree and possibly open up my own business! My possibilities will be endless!! This is all due to my mother who persevered in my sister's medical malpractice case and won - after nine long years! I will soon be doing better than all my peers - which was not something I was trying to accomplish.
All that I ask from the Divine Mother - that we will make the right choice in location for the boys and everything will go as planned. But the most important thing will be for all of us to be safe and secure, healthy and happy...
That is what New Years should be about - WISHING FOR A SAFE & SECURE, HEALTHY & HAPPY YEAR...
