Today I wrote 2014 for the first time
So I guess that means that it is finally here. Though I felt so flustered at the bank drive through window this morning and since I was concentrating so hard on writing '14 and not '13 for the year, I may have gotten today's date completely wrong. Oh well.
It is probably a true sign of getting old when you find yourself saying "I can't believe it's (insert new year here)" every first week in January. Well, time is marching on because I cannot stop saying that every year.
2014. Are you serious?
I still think the 90's were not that long ago.
All of a sudden, 2014 is here already and I still haven't figured out what I want my first post of the new year to be about. Typically, I like to reflect on the past year or right hopes for the new year and sure I'll get to that, but I feel like all of that can be summed up in what I told Levent on New Year's Eve. Here is to hoping that 2014 is way better than 2013.
For me, personally, this past year has been pretty great. (After all, Levent I started dating in February 2013). But for my family, 2013 has been a nightmare. On some level, it's hard to think of 2014 as a new start when really, January 1st was just a Wednesday and everything seems to be continuing on the way it has been for the past few months.
But maybe that is what is so great about a new year. That even a Wednesday can suddenly turn into a brand new, fresh start for people. Going to work on the following Thursday might feel like hell, but hey, at least it's a new year.
I do have some hopes for this coming year, though they are nothing out of the ordinary. Like I hope I go to Costa Rica to visit my friend Laura. I also hope my garden, which will be smaller this coming spring, will still be successful. I hope my relationship with Levent continues to get even more amazing. I hope that I continue to learn how to be my genuine self around my friends. I hope that I continue getting more confident at my current job. If all of those things work out, then 2014 will be a good year.
Here is to hoping.
And here is my annual picture tribute to 2013.
Cheers.
