Tomorrow will be the last day of my year, this year when I’ve been embracing deliberate change. I will post something tomorrow that might well be sappy and sentimental to some; but will bring this year to a close and give way to the start of my real year without complaining, 2015. I will be applying everything I have learned and experienced on this personal journey.
For today, let me say this: There are several people who have tolerated my ineptness, my stumbling, and my prideful ways. They have given much to me, even when I could not ask for help and seemed to resent the help offered or given. I know them well enough to know that they would prefer not to be named. But they know who they are. They are the persons for whom I am grateful today.
And to them, to my angels, even the reluctant ones, I say — I hope you are not disappointed in me; and that you know how much your faith in me has meant.

What an honour to have shared your struggles and joys of this last year. Your writing has become a type of daily ‘reflection’ for me, as we share much in common – a childhood, and adulthood, spent under medical ‘care’; relationships which the world might not deem ‘successful, but which have born sweet as well as bitter fruit;; a lifelong journey in search of justice, and for the divine within ourselves and others. Your many friends stand as a testament that your life has great worth.
So may your New Year be blessed with fewer things to complain about – and a clear eye to discern what is worth your time and attention. Carpe Diem in joy and wonder!
