Last Day Of The Year

Darkness settles over my cramped abode. My oldest is gone to a friend's house to usher in the new year. My three sons are in our living area bickering over who dives next on wii's "Endless Ocean". My better half resides at the hospital still, & I am in front of a lifeless monitor staring down what will be a monumental year that is to come. Yes, I know I haven't been around lately, we've been over this. Yes, I know 2013 was not supposed to top 2012 in level of difficulty. Alas, dilemmas persist. I suppose that will not change on my dying day. 

But here we are.

2014: The year that has been over a decade in the making. 

Here's to a new day, stronger faith, & a prolonged journey ... almost complete. =0)  

Out Of The Blue

Wars abound. People cannot be trusted. Good health is the slowest means by which we die. Leaders fail. Companies go bankrupt. The best laid plans yadi-yadi-yaduh...blah, blah, blah...

But once in a lifetime...on the rarest occasion...perhaps when you least expect it...out of the blue... =0)

Bridge in the Woods

Experienced much these past 12 months. Today will be no different. Historic moment for the Ward family as my daughter finishes junior high on this day, my oldest son leaves elementary school (no love loss there), & my middle son completes kindergarten. 

Pass the Prilosec. 

While Twenty Twelve proved to be one of the more difficult seasons of life, 2013 has been even harder. I suppose that's why I felt the need to sequester myself as I was tiring of my musty, unoriginal compositions.

That acknowledged, my failure has been the act of taking up residence in the muck & mire. 

Trying to correct this inadequacy. 

High time I focus on the bridge leading me home, rather than the somber woods. Hence today's pic. 

Thank you for reading.
