New Year's Resolution

In October 2004, I was rear-ended by a car as I was stopped on an off-ramp. The other driver was on her cellphone crying with her sister who had just announced she was a teenage mother. She said she never saw me. My car suffered a lot less damage than my body which sustained several disc displacements leaving me in chronic, excruciating pain for the rest of my life and an agoraphobic. My New Year's Resolution is: "I want to laugh. I want to be around children. And I want to get back on my feet."

Good luck.

Simple things used to make me laugh and I guess they still do if I didn't cry so easily. A released balloon, a good joke, a long lost friend, my cat being silly, my mother's smile. Silly, huh? Life is so precious and just typing this makes me feel like I've begun my life again and everything in the past is past since my emotions are wound so tight. I don't mean to vent or bring others down.

I want to wish each of you, Trish and Casey, a blessed and long-lived New Year, and your families. Let God's peace surround you and his armies build an unbreakable gate around you and me and mine. Thank you both for reaching out. Hugs .... C.
