Sometimes, you just need a little bit of perspective on your problems.

I started writing this entry as a retrospective of the year, but it turned quickly into a list of all the bad stuff that happened in 2005. I got part way into it, realized what was going on, then did a quick :q!

Instead of the Litany of Bad Things, I will just say that despite the bad stuff, some good stuff also happened. More than anything, seeds have been planted that might just make 2006 a good one.

So here’s to 2006, and as T.S. Eliot wrote:

For last year’s words belong to last year’s language / And next year’s words await another voice. / And to make an end is to make a beginning.

Sometimes, you just need a little bit of perspective on your problems.

Happy New Year!
