This year coming has to be better than the current. Currently I feel I am at the beach as the sun comes over the horizon with my toes freshly tucked into the sand before the waves crash pulling me deeper and deeper. The slap of the wave crashing up against my legs stings a little but it is definitely not enough for me to take a step back. The wave recedes as I keep my eyes on the sun as it slowly rises to the beautiful sky without noticing that I am sinking deeper into the sand. Slap, the waves hit my legs again with a stinging feeling that I could do without but I keep my eyes on the lovely sunlight peaking in the far distant. I am sinking slower into the sand...up to my knees but I have not lost my sight. One last wave crashes into me, sends me staggering to my knees, mouth full of salt water and I missed the sun rise to its position in the blue sky. That is how 2009 has been for me. I have kept my eyes on something beautiful but one last crash causes me to falter.
