Ah, New Year 2015... [*editorial note: have used an offline vehicle to write this... Gawds, dontcha wish some of our FB friends would? Damn if it wouldnt avoid so much... LOL*] Im aware Im seldom around FB much, and for reasons deeply private as well as those Ive shared publicly. But please know that youre all and always in my thoughts, whether you are one Ive believed myself justified in defriending, one who did the same for what were believed to be justified, a constant friend whos always got something to say, a new friend Ive met through the blogs (or an old friend I knew through the blogs a decade ago with whom Im proud to associate on FB [*hiya, Laura, Lady!*]... Im grateful beyond comprehension for the lives that have come to be in this past year, those that are about to be in the coming year (Boo, it just seems like your ol dad is detached and unaware...). Im profoundly grateful to have been accepted without commentary by those with whom Ive been a strange sort of family for 36 years, and even moreso that the acceptance has been unconditional and without filters. Im deeply grateful even for those of my family that have chosen to walk away, as Im aware that it has been for reasons that are, in themselves, honorable, regardless of my agreement or disagreement with the conclusion... Some of you, for reasons you alone will know, have my profound respect and youll never know just how proud of you I am. You have my love and honor and support unconditionally, as you always have... I have no need of reciprocation. That aint what its about anyway, at least to my way of thinking. Im grateful that its been an interesting year... whether or not thats in the format of the ancient Chinese curse is something about which the juryll be out for years to come... but that Ive been still blessed with the ability to be aware, and to pay attention means Im not pushin up the daisies quite yet. I am supremely grateful, profoundly amazed and joyful beyond measure to have been blessed for 3 years my dear, darling friend and true family member for 36 years, Cheryl Anne Cooney... this lady has known my warts and my demons, as well as those shes chosen to view as my good points, and loves this almost 60-something, sometimes crazed, always other in spite of, and, amazingly, because of ... well... because I am whom I am. I love you all, I wish you blessings and joy over this next journey around the sun, and I look so forward to living life with yall, whether you are friends only online, however longstanding, or those that actually have come to know this deteriorating hunk of flesh... I am not this body, but, my friends and family, its whats here at present... Bless you all and thank you for the past year, as well as the new one to come. Happy, blessed and joyous New Year to you all, and may we all still be here 365 days from now.
