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)
