2007

When I got to the office this morning, then the big wall calender of 2007, had partly fallen off the wall, and was lying squint.  I looked at it and laughed, because it seems to represent how 2007 has been.  It feels like this year just hasn't been able to support itself properly, but neither has it completely collapsed.  Normally at this time of year I am looking back and saying, wow, hasn't the year gone quickly.  This year seems to have taken forever.  It is weird because, I have most definitely had worse years than this year, and I have had some truly exceptional experiences in the last 12 months, it just feels like there haven't been any spaces in-between "everything" in order to rest and allow everything to settle into place.  I guess the best word for this year would be "hectic"

So what word describes 2008?  I was searching around for the one that "fits" I looked around "calm" and "restful" first, but neither seemed to settle into place.  Suddenly "joyful" lept into view, plumped up the cushions, and made itself comfortable for the year ahead.  So here is to a joyful 2008, and the chance to fully digest the multitude of ups and downs of 2007.
