This day has to be one of the worst of the year. It's been a pretty bad year but today has been particularly bad. The minutes are ticking by SLOWLY!!!
I don't care about midnight or watching a bunch of people on TV out in the freezing cold watching a ball drop. I'm just ready to start over with a new month and hope for the future.
Today has been cold....extremely cold. It's 19 degrees right now. The day has been gray and cloudy. I didn't sleep more than a few hours last night. My daughter and husband and I have all been sick. I had a rough night last night filled with bad news. Angering and confusing news. I'm calming down and am saying goodbye to the drama.
I didn't expect it to snow today. It wasn't in the forceast but it was a pleasant surprise.
Snow brings me peace. It makes the world quiet and a beautiful white. Snow traps me in my house and keeps others in their own homes. When it snows it's like the world is at rest and for a moment everything is forced to stop.
I really needed snow today. I need my mind to be quite. I need this year to end so all the crappy memories can be further away from me so that over time most of them will have faded and dulled so that most of the details will be forgotten.
I wish I were in a better mood right now. I'd love to write a light piece about New Years and having fun but all I want is to go to bed. Maybe I'll DVR Dick Clark's New Years Rockin Eve watch the ball drop tomorrow.
