windowpanes

We all started out the game as windows, with everyone looking straight through us.

But we were faking, staging ourselves up to be transluscent, pretending to be see-through. Some of us were really tinted. Others of us were foggy. One of us was mussy.

I was the mussy window you thought you saw through.

But finally I'm a clear window. Can you still see through me?

Look as you might, you haven't seen it. Perhaps it's the other side you are missing from your view. Or, it might simply be the glass.

Circles in the sand

Last night was the conclusion of my last year as a single woman. Last night was the last new year that I will not remember your kiss. Last night was the conclusion of a lifetime leading up to the rest of my life.

Last night was the last day of the last year of my former self.

Today is the first day of a year full of changes, full of beginnings, full of endings, full of life, full of love, full of hope, full of my childhood wishes being granted and my high school fears being expelled.

Today is the first day of a year that I will never want to forget.
And, I cannot wait to share it with everyone.

Welcome, 2007.
