Last Words on 2011

2011 was the worst year of my life.

My mother suddenly took ill after Thanksgiving and died January 20, 2011, two days before her birthday. She was the most important, trusted person in my life. It is nearly a year later and it still feels like she was here yesterday.

I am lucky that I found someone whom I can trust just as much.

Moving across the country from New York City to Los Angles; adjusting to a new city, a new culture and new job have been a huge change. I miss my friends and the things that I know well.

I am lucky to have work and a home when many others do not.

So I am looking forward to 2012. Not because I don’t think it could be any worse than this year, but because this year showed me down to the very last second that I can survive what life throws at me.

I guess I am lucky.
