Welp. Here we are again. Another year. I'm glad this one is over - it's been a roller coaster. The interesting thing about roller coasters is that no matter how rough the ride, you always seem to make it back to the place you started.
Of course, that's not entirely true, either. You're not the same for having been through the journey, even if you return to where you've started. And the original location has changed, too, however minutely. Life is a progression, and we're all headed somewhere - even when going in circles, or along roller coaster tracks.

I'm not sure what this says about me. ;) Or, more interestingly, what it says about the folks who are pointed to this blog.
Any long-term endeavor takes dedication, patience, and perseverance. Yet, maybe due to the way a blog is set up, it doesn't feel like a chore - I just log in and start typing. It's a fascinating exercise. If only I were as diligent about physical exercise... ;)
I hope your new year is prosperous and bright, one where your life is filled with wonder and joy.
