Summing up the year

[frualeydis]

I read a lot of blog posts where people tell how their year have been. For many it seem to have been a year of non-ending trials and this haven't been a very good year for me either, no research funding, lots of pain and tiredness from arthritis, too much work stress etc. But all this, while still there in my mind, disappears when I think of the wonder, the joy that I am alive!!!


I am. And I am so grateful and happy.
I wish the wounds would heal faster so that I could take a bath, I will my ankle which I twisted on the 9th of November would stop hurting, and generally that my body would stop hurting, but still: I didn't die. That is how I think of 2013.

What a glorious photo to celebrate a fact that more of us should appreciate. Being alive -- it's a heck of a lot better than being dead.

I'm glad you didn't die, too. Here's hoping that 2014 can only be an improvement. Big hugs and best wishes for you for the new year!

I'm also very glad you're alive. Hopefully 2014 will be much better than 2013.

Happy New Year to you too! Not dying is very very good. :-)
