the Bitter and the Sweet

At the end of a year, you mostly find a lot of reflection. Sorry, but you won't get that here. With just two days left, I would like to say "so long" to the year that is 2010. Sure, there was a lot of great, along with a sprinkling of wonderful.

And then there was the other stuff. For some reason, this year seems to have been filled with the other stuff. And I mean filled, from Day 1 to Day 29.

In response I will:

• Clean house (my parents' and mine) with extra vigor;


• Find a way to pop some firecrackers in the mainland;


• Appreciate more;


• Take for granted less;


• Find some patience.
