I am one of those old school people who send cards with letters in them with actual postage stamps and everything.
I often think my letters are boring. Well, except that one year when I told everyone that my son was an European soccer star and my 8 year old daughter ran off to marry the prince of some unknown country. Yes, I actually did write all that since it was amusing and it wasn't the standard "everyone is just great" letter.
This year has been a bad one as far as years go.
I lost my home. I lost my job. I lost a battle with the health insurance company and my surgery was denied.
Sometimes I have half a mind to write all of that in the letter. Family and friends have no idea what kind of crap happens over here.
I always think that the new year will be different, better some how. It just never seems to get any better.
Oh well...
Maybe I will just write a poem:
Jingle Bells, Santa smells...
This year kinda sucked
Hoping next year is better.
:-)
