I try to, but the problem is my fight of believing if it's real or not . . .I can't explain that but it's what I deal with.
Now back to what others have to say about 2014.
You interact in more way than you may know, Madam. We are one, and we feel-- whether it is spoken out loud or not/ whether is is visible or not. You travel the path of love and green lights.
I will remember this year for losing my mum in November. Then husbands dad last week. But I will also remember the great Summer. And getting another classic car. Finally feeling validated at work. Repairing a broken friendship with a friend. Apart from the last month, it's been a brilliant year. And I am looking forward to the next year.

I hope you are feeling a bit better Claire. You went through a lot in short amount of time. May your New Year be great.
Good year in the still-recovering economy.
Getting a few stories out that the near-and-dears enjoyed. And then actually compiling into a book-sized collection.
Getting overtures for a business deal that still has to play out.
Grandkids are into puberty big-time.
After five years of recovery, the electorate returns to the same philosophies that put them in the crapper in the first place (and I do mean philosophies, and not parties). I'll never figure people out.
A local stadium issue. The national health care issues. Reaching a point of no-return indignity on each of them.
Business in Alaska. Family trip to Oregon.
40th anniversary.
And......

On a personal level 2014 sucked the life out of me. We started the year off with the Ogre's bad back, shortly thereafter I blew my knee out during a fancy Zumba jump. The oldest got caught up in a career that nearly ruined her life. Work was more than I could handle. Father in law's cancer is running the show now. The Ogre got laid off. I suffered some sort of mental breakdown. 2014 can kiss my formerly fat a$$. Stress can do wonders for your figure though. I've got cheekbones again. Suck it 2014. May 2015 bring peace, tranquility, good health, enough money, and love for each other to get us all to a better place.
Darn, I hate I missed that.
Vulnerability.....I understand. "I got a wall around me that you can't even see" (so says Mr. Paul Simon). I hear ya, girl. I know what you mean.
But I also see you feel deeply and that makes life a little harder.
Oh Dear,Iam hoping things are getting much better.
...you just like your own company best, and there's no sin in that...you are flawed as are we all. but I wouldn't have you any other way...charming, funny, and wise(as well as damn cute)are words I would us for you Char....and with much love...
...we hate that you missed it as well....but life interrupts in the suckiest of ways at times....love and hugs to both you and Claire....
Congratulations on taking the step; whatever it is about, my thoughts and prayers for a clear path, and continued resolve and support.
What I know of you, Mack, is while it's perhaps a little less than a few of the others, a positive, even delightful look into life's wonders around us. I've been blessed by your posts in the Cool and Amazing thread; always look forward to them.

A few more aches and pains than I had 2013. It's as good a way to mark the passage of time as anything else. 2014 was a good reading year. I seemed to read more year than in previous years, I think all the good tips about books on this site may be the reason, so thanks to everyone on the SKMB for that. I'm still hoping to land a new career in 2015. I think seventeen years of service to king and country is about enough....but I say that every year. Not sure I could survive in the private sector anyway, lol. I did go on a job interview last month and it was the most awkward damn feeling I've had in a long time. How do you do a job interview nowadays? The last time I applied for a job was 1998...weird feeling. Hope everyone has a safe holiday season, watch our for other drivers....and watch out for RVs...you never know who/what may be at the wheel.
Yeah, me too - I thought at 20 you could get a partial pension... oh well - good luck now matter what!
...one of the these days Ms. Thang-by the grace of Gan-I WILL get you wrapped up in a big ole GNT bear hug...
Well I have butter fingers. Please ignore the last post, I didn't mean to hit submit, and now it won't let me edit it. Let's try this again, shall we....?
2014 was an incredible year. After almost a lifetime of very black luck, my life has finally taken a turn for the better.
You see, there was this person, this man-person, that I knew a while back. We were friends, then good friends, then best friends. The timing of all this wasn't the best, and some unfortunate things happened. We fell out of touch for over two years.
Then, January 5, 2014, this man walked back into my life. Quite literally. The events that brought us back together are almost surreal, but to make a long story short, we mended our broken fences. And when all was said and done, we realized that all the time we'd spent apart was time wasted. In spite of everything, we still loved each other just as passionately as we had before.
We are now married, have a son on the way, (he's due in February) have moved into a townhouse, he bought me my first car.... So much has happened this year, all of it good, that I hardly know what to think. I'm so used to life being this thing that you want to get out of, and now I look around myself, see what life has become, and want to live forever. 2014 is definitely a year that will stand out in my memory for a very long time.
