Who Would've Thought

Funny how life is, really. I have pictures of what my life was a year ago - where I was working, who I was in love with, what plans I had for myself. Those are all gone and done. This year was one of many ups and downs, many highlights and downfalls, but somehow I have leveled out and am flying straight now. Coming to realizations about myself and what I am capable of and the addition of my new love, Greg, has all put things into a beautiful, new perspective.

I look back at 2006, and frankly, it is mostly a blur because a lot of it is irrelevant to where I am now and where I am going. But I look forward to 2007 with a newfound light step after having let go of so much that was holding me back. Ready for whatever comes.

Cancer Horoscope - SF Weekly

Imagine you're with a team of explorers in Antarctica. You're climbing the 2,000-foot granite spire called Rakekniven that thrusts up out of the ice in Queen Maud Land. The temperature is ten degrees below zero. There's not a plant or animal in sight. The blinding white emptiness of the wasteland beneath you fills you with desolate reverence, alienated awe, and soaring gratitude. As far as you are from everything that normally gives you comfort, you've rarely felt stronger or more alive. Got that scene in your mind's eye, Cancerian? Though you won't experience it literally, I bet you'll experience emotions similar to those you'd have if you did.
