Time

I must admit that I imagined this year going differently. This was the year I turned 23 on the 23rd of May, and because of that I somehow expected great things. Instead, it has been a year full of unexpected changes; some good, some bad, and a few great, nearly overwhelming disappointments.

And yet time marches on. Years come and go, accepting or declining our ambitions and dreams. A few milestones remain in this twelfth month of the tenth year of the twenty-first century, but for the most part it has played its brief yet crucial role in time.


Tomorrow my husband and I will have been married for exactly 2 years.

On the 17th I will have been unemployed for 3 full months.

On the 18th my youngest sister will turn 11 years old.

1 week after that it will be Christmas Day.

And 1 week after that we will start the year 2011...

What will it bring?
