sinkwriterFeeling a bit introspective tonight (as seems to happen most New Year's Eves), so I looked back at my LiveJournal for the past year. I only posted three times. Even though this place has changed so much and most have dropped out of the arena, that number feels kind of sad to me. So I'm going to try to post a little more, even if it's only to myself, or for myself as some sort of record. It's not going to be a lot, because I've already got a lot on my plate right now, but I'm going to do what I can.
In that spirit, here's a lovely quote from writer Neil Gaiman on the subject of New Year's Eve and looking ahead to the new year...
"Be kind to yourself in the year ahead.
Remember to forgive yourself, and to forgive others. It's too easy to be outraged these days, so much harder to change things, to reach out, to understand.
Try to make your time matter: minutes and hours and days and weeks can blow away like dead leaves, with nothing to show but time you spent not quite ever doing things, or time you spent waiting to begin.
Meet new people and talk to them. Make new things and show them to people who might enjoy them.
Hug too much. Smile too much. And, when you can, love."
I wish that for all of you out there, just putting it out there into the universe. Happy New Year, everyone. :)
