so. 2012 is here. and with it, a new opportunity to show what we are able to do. below is a shot at my wishes for this new year.

that i am able to start, and finish things in a more timely manner, and limit my distractions as much as possible. you would think that something like this is just easy… but it’s not. there are so many things that draw us to interruption. the want to help. the needs by others. people thinking that their need is more important than yours. and as much as you hate to admit it, sometimes yours really isn’t that important, and then you take it on. so my goal really ends up, working to get back to the original thing that i started that i need to complete.

now. i also wish that the folks in the united states, the land that i love very much, learn to come together. starting with the congress. last year was an embarrassment. the way that congress moves to what’s right for themselves and not really for their constituents.

i don’t really believe in polls. look what they have done to the republican party. do we really trust any of them? they say what we want to hear, and then say what someone else wants to hear. the wind changes direction less than our current flock of politicians.

president obama has tried to fulfill what his promises were. and we voted for him to do so. sure. some of the things that he took on were hard. some made me unhappy. but his attempts were valid. his ideas were some that have been floating around, within both parties, for years. yet because he was leading the charge, they became bad things. at least to some. why exactly was that? good luck with an answer.

i cheer for the president. i hope that congress can make amends. i know that with election season upon us, nothing will get done.

to all my friends out there… have a happy and safe 2012. may the year be filled with everything you want and hope for!

sincerely…
