Happy New Year!

Well, it's official - it is January 1, 2012.  Where was I a year ago?  I think I was pretty happy, happier than I had been in years, as a matter of fact: exploring woods and brooks, preparing for a ballroom showcase with rediscovered friends, doing artwork, hanging out with my cats and my buds.  I certainly had no idea last January 1st that in six weeks the consequences of one simple decision would begin to transform my life.  What lies in store this year?  I am better off not knowing; we all are.  Any happiness we might feel about a positive development we foresee inevitably will be blemished by the knowledge of a difficult event following close on its heels.  For myself, I will be satisfied if I continue to grow as a person and grow in faith, understanding, and dedication.  But willy-nilly, I will have to be satisfied no matter what.  Man proposes, G-d disposes, and He knows best.
