Goodbye, goodbye, I'll always remember you...

Well, 2012 was a definitely a good year.  The 100th anniversary of the Titanic sinking, 12/12/12, the End of the World, etc.  Yes, I enjoyed 2012 very much.  I'll be sad to see it go.  I watched it come in; I don't know if I'll watch it go out.

Tomorrow we start 2013.  A new year, new resolutions, new ages, new activities to look forward to.

...Except I'll be looking back at past years, wishing I was there instead of here now.  Oh well.  I've got nowhere to look but forward, right?  That's where we're going, isn't it?

I hope so.

I wrote a book in 2012.  I learned a lot about myself in 2012.  I went to my favorite place--England--in 2012.  2012 was a perfect year for me.


Unopened letters,
Waltzing through my open window.
Begging me to see what I've missed.
They are my memories in material form,
But not all memories are worth remembering.
So maybe I won't open those letters for a while.
