My Krazy Kandies

Dreaming of a White Christmas

Well, this is it. The year is coming to an end. People are starting fresh of a new page in their book of life. Me? Well, I’m doing nothing. I’m just going to kip a line and go on to my new paragraph. Because I’m not really starting anything new. This is the same life, the same house, the same family, the same friends, the same everything. Nothing has changed except for the date. The only thing I’m going to do this year is resolve to remember that it isn’t 2008 anymore.

2009, huh? Sounds interesting. We have a new president, that’s good. Maybe things will change now, whether it be for the best or for the worst. I wonder, I really wonder, if anything will really… change. Because nothing has really changed at all in the past several years, so I can’t help but wonder if this year will be different. I wonder if maybe I’ll lose the love of my life, but find someone new. I wonder if Gina will find her true love, and be happy. I wonder if mama will be able to keep this family together. There are so many things, good and bad, that could happen, might happen, and maybe even will happen.

In a weird way, I’m excited. but at the same time, I’m depressed, and afraid of this new year. What if something truly terrible happens? What if I can’t handle something? I try not to think about it, but it keeps coming back…

I will try to keep myself jolly at least until the post-Christmas depression starts to kick in.

I hope you all have a merry Christmas.
