As I come to the end of a year that I have many complaints about and the perfect outlet to express them, I decline that opportunity to instead have a moment of reflection on how fortunate I am that:
I was not a casualty of war
I wasn't the victim of an earthquake, wildfires or hurricane
I didn't get lost in space
I wasn't killed by a cheating husband, deranged parents, a jealous teammate, or a record producer
I didn't go up in flames while attending a rock concert
I did not take wild ferry rides
I was not attacked by a shark
I didn't have sex sleepovers at Neverland Ranch or The Lodge And Spa At Cordillera
I didn't get recalled
I didn't participate in illegal file-sharing
I didn't have a sex video leaked
I didn't lie about benefitting from insider trading information
I didn't get fired resign my position or see too many doctors
I wasn't shut out of the NFL for the rest of the season
I had absolutely nothing to do with this disaster
and I didn't catch a baseball in Wrigley field -- then again, maybe that wasn't so bad
All-in-all, I had a decent year. I'll keep my petty complaints about my own life to myself and simply thank God I am here, healthly, employed; the same is true of my family and friends; and also that Joe is safe and returning soon.
God Bless and Happy New Year.
