Since the clocktowers of 2005 are breathing down my neck and the illusional concept of a clean slate for 2006 is staring rather obnoxiously at me today, I feel I must smile sweetly and face it.
I'm not entirely ready for 2005 to be over. I had some rather amazing things happen this year. Amazing is also subjective in it's own fashion. Amazing doesn't necessarily mean good, and it doesn't have to mean wonderful. I had some really amazing bad things happen that have left the proverbial lifetime impressions. I've also had some rather amazing good things happen, priceless, precious in there own right that I won't be giving up anytime soon.
Resolutions are something I typically shy away from. Besides, I believe resolution is just a fancy word for making decent choices and gawd knows I try to maintain that frame of mind each and every single day. Thankfully there's a decent space given for marginal error allowed with that concept. I'd be toast without that space of graceful exceptions.
I prefer at this point in time of the year to look back and decide whether or not I believe I personally made 2005 worth my time. I believe I did, and thats good enough for now.
So today, I will turn my back on 2005 and face a new year, full of spotless days, and long calendar months.
Walking into the river of new year, uncharted, full of mystery, and amazing possibilities. Who knows, maybe I'll finally net that big fish I've been trying for all my life........................
Happy New Year Everyone, enjoy those uncharted days and glorious choices placed at our life doorstep each and every day~

PPS: I'll come and visit you at Blogger, on occasion. I'm about done with AOL journals.
Oh that river scene is gorgeous, my nephew lives in Centralia Wa. and has a lovely stream behind his house like that...I don't know what I am doing in Florida I miss mountains. Think positive...next year is the year for books...maybe we'll both get a push on with our writing! Happy New Year dear to you and yours...Sandi

Happy New Year Rebecca! This was a lovely entry too!
much love-Liz
Hey Rebecca! 2005 was definitely interesting, that is for sure! I always enjoy a fresh, new start though... You're right, those "resolutions" should be thought about all year long, not just the night before. Great entry! Happy New Year!! Michelle
Hmmmm.... I left a Happy New Year wish over at Blogger, but I want to leave it here also. That way whichever one you check in on you get my hopes for a wonderful New Year for you and your family!

Try the fly fishing with a pair of Stilettos and you'll net that big fish for sure!
...The year is over, take what you need from it, use the lessons and the joys as stepping stones......no need to contemplate the failures and dissapointments..they will follow you like some drunken sailor...
Like the birds that migrate to South for winter, another year drifts into the past. Time has slipped a new Year in its place.....step into with your tempered dreams and hopes...afterall, for this moment...it is New!
A Happy and Peaceful New year to you! Marc :)
Who knows what a whole new year could bring.....
Happy New Year Rebecca!

Love the positive spin on this entry. Just dropping by to wish you and yours a wonderful and prosperous 2006!
Happy New Year!
It's always good to look at the new horizons dawning each day. 2005 kinda sucked for me, so 2006 has GOT to be awesome in comparison.
Here's hoping at least! May all your dreams come true.

Enjoyed your picture and your entry. Here is to wishing you and your family a great 2006! Your j-land friend TerryAnn.
You sure do have a way with words. I dont like resolutions much. Mine is quite simple. CHANGE! There are SO many ways to change that it is all but impossible to fail at that task this year!

I love this entry Rebecca, the big fish is coming I'm sure. Great picture too!
