The year swings around again. Each year, same as the next... Every day's the same, everything's the same.

But NO they're NOT. Things have changed, and I have changed too. A lot. I know it in my head. Lately, there have been times when I don't feel as if much has changed... when some of the same old, nagging thoughts come back... when the same issues return...

Things are different this year. Things are much better. At the core, I'm happier. I'm better off financially, mentally, socially. I'm closer to getting out of debt. I'm closer to the people I care about. I cried last night because I forgot...

If you notice that I'm in a temporary funk and that I've temporarily forgotten, please remind me. I'd greatly appreciate it.
