The year that was

Things sometimes have to get worse before they can get better. I can say the same about 2005. I thought 2004 was the worst year I've ever had, and started 2005 with a lot of hope. And yes, things did get worse before they got better. The monster inside got too big to handle and its was quite a tussle before it could be tamed. But tame it I did, and things just got so much better after that. Better heart, better mind, better outlook, better attitude, better house, better job, better everything... Touch wood! Looking forward to an even better 2006.
