New Year Resolutions

1. Lose weight
2. Be happy
3. Drink less
4. Judge others less
5. Try to be more forgiving

So many of the people I loved have gone.  This is life, is it not?  So I must adjust myself to it, because sure as phuque it's not going to change for me.

So I mustn't judge people for their cruelties and wrong-doing.    That'll be hard: some I will never forgive.  But I know in my heart just how flawed I am.  Surely I can extend forgiveness to others if I want them to forgive me?  And maybe forgiving will allow me to gain the first 3 of my goals.

I will try harder.

Happy new year to everybody

Here in eastern Oz, only New Zealand in the world  beats us into the new year.

It's been a better year for me than for many years.  The gradual recovery from the Henrik/Jack/Arn disaster proceeded; my job got better; we paid off more debt.  All I need to do now is lose some weight!

To all of you: happy new year.

Aan almal van julle: 'n gelukkige en voorspoedige nuwe jaar

A vous tous: bonne annee

A Ustedes todos: feliz ano nuevo.

Just as I have climbed out of my slough of despond, so I hope you all will be well, will be very well in 2015.  Thanks for following this blog.  Onwards and upwards.

Betrayal

Looking over old emails, between me and Henrik, Jack and Arn.  Each claimed to be my friend, and each betrayed me, in their own way.  Even 5 years later, it still hurts.


Ah well, as Ennis Del Mar says to Jack Twist in Brokeback Mountain: If you can't fix it, Jack, you gotta stand it.
