Requisite New Year post

Hmmm New Years. Fun times.
Another year to hope for the best; another year of probably getting the worst.

Everyone is so hyped up on changing themselves, when that isn't the problem. We change; every day we change, little irrational human beings we are. The problem is changing for the better and ay, there's the rub (ooh, ooh PROFUNDITY ALERT! SHAKESPEARE QUOTATION MODE ACTIVATED).

This year in Summary:

I feel a ton older; an ounce wiser; but not too worse for wear. It's hard to not become wearied by just ourselves, much less this planet of human beings that go around being...human beings.

Ah, spoken by a true person who hasn't had any hardships! XD I mean, seriously, what have I to complain about. And yet, I don't think the Lord looks down on my observations because they have a fraction of truth. As angsty as noting the "wretched self-centerdness of humanity" is, it is kind of true. Just another bit of truth to pile on the sadder, tougher truth experienced by most of the rest of the world.

So, I rest in the grace of God; pray for him to change me so I can make even a small difference in the world. And, in the mean time, I turn my cynicism to whimsy as that is the only escape we have, I think. Savor and increase the tiny, useless things in life to make the deep dark serious stuff look a little less dark and serious. Well, at least give our brains a break from it for a bit. We need to acknowledge both sides of the coin in order to see the real three-dimensional object.

And here I am...rambling.
Happy New Year everyone! Love your Family! Cherish your Friends! Pray for Wisdom! Keep a wary eye out for the HUNDREDS OF ANGSTY BACKSTABBERS THAT ARE OUT THERE *eyeliner*

On this bizarre note, I leave you...
