Welcome 2007. It's been a bitch of a year!
« on: December 28, 2006, 11:15:55 am »
Hi Y'all.  Just wanting to wish you all a wonderful 2007 and thankyou for being part of my 2006, dragging me out of my 2005.  I hope you are all finding your way of coping, of learning, of loving.  The world is great.  I haven't watched BBM for a long time now, but the images are vivid.  Every time I hang a shirt I thank the universe that I watched this movie in time to not have to cry every time I hang a shirt.  I think of you all every second day and am thankfull that you were all there when I needed you.  Some of you became a little freaky toward the end, but I am glad for the experience of knowing you all. Freaky is okay. Freaky can help us grow.  I hope you all have grown. I am well and very happy and wish the same for every one of you who helped me to find my life.

One day I woke up and realised that I have approximately half my life to live. and I realised that you helped me realise.

Take care and I hope you find your life lust in the year of the Pig.  The Pig - "Diligent, courageous, and hateful of quarrels. The Boar is a perfect friend, but she is also shallow and rather materialistic. She is not good at handling money, yet fortune is always around her. "

So this is the year to remember that it isn't about who how much we can gain, but how much we all can lose by not seizing the day.  Hang those shirts proudly. Kiss the lips of fate.  Look up from the screen and embrace the life around you.  It's a buzz.

Take care people, here's to progress.  Here's to ending the devastation.

Oh Ray it is so good to hear from you. I've missed you! And you know I farking luuuuurve you!!

I am sitting here looking at my collection of BBM ticket stubs (yesterday was my one year anniversary of seeing the movie). It has been quite a year, hasn't it? I am looking forward to 2007 and what it will bring. 2006 has had its ups and downs (not all BBM related) but I like to think that BBM has helped me over some of the humps. And with every passing day, it becomes less and less about BBM and more and more about the people I have met.

Hugs to you, my friend. It is good to have you drop in for a visit.

Hi Ray!  So nice to see your name on a thread again!  Thanks for stopping by.  8)

I plan to embrace the Pig--I've been working on expanding my waistline all year.  Talk about personal growth!  ::)

Have a marvelous 2007!  :-*

A little freaky? Brother, its a way of life! ;D

Thank you for my shell, it hangs upon me wall in the den.

Should old acquaintence be forgot? And never brought to mind? Should old acquaintence be forgot, and days of auld lang syne?

Not by a long shot.

A happy and peaceful year of the pig to you and yours.

Good to see your post mate!    And thanks for the PM.   

Yes, I too hope 2007 is FAR better than 2006!

The year of the pig?     I embrace my inner pig every year!   He he he!
