occasions to ponder

Upper hh with Tino, Arven, and Geom + helping Clar and the AC girls during their last club meeting for the year + my cousin's 21st birthday dinner + running into my old friends Shari and Mir at their father's 50th birthday celebration= some opportunities to think back on things.

Beginnings and endings. How 2008 was great yet 2009 promises to be better. Growing up as well. Realizing that so many things have changed in the world around me (everything from government cover ups to the global financial crisis, so on and so forth). Realizing that almost everyone around me has changed (for better or for worse, that's not for me to decide).  Believing in God's victories. Understanding that maybe I have the capacity to love, deeply and profoundly.

Sometimes I wish for my old isolation just so I can cover up the scars that have now marked my psyche. But are they scars, or are they experiences that have shaped me?
