Today, however, is not going to be a long winded rant, or anything like that. It's a simple announcement. For the past month I have been holding on to a secret that's been tearing me up inside. Now, I've been holding on to this secret because I wanted to reveal it to my family at Christmas, as sort of a gift. Now that Christmas is past, I'm able to more widely publicize it.
However, it's my feeling that it can be better summed up with a picture. For those of you who don't know, the individuals in this picture are my father and brothers. This is how we broke the secret to my extended family on my side. For a bit of further information, I'm the oldest, and the only one who is married in my family.
Now, loyal readers, I trust you will be able to do the simple deduction.
I look forward to continuing to write to you over the course of the coming year. I am making it a goal to write at least once a week. I will have a great deal to write about, that's for certain.
Just a note: Comments fuel the fire. Knowing that someone is reading what you've taken the time to put down is very important to a writer, and in my opinion anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. I write this blog as an effort to express things in the manner I best know how. I would love to hear your thoughts and feelings on my thoughts and feelings.
A final statement: At this time of year it is my prayer that you have been found healthy and at peace with the world. My thoughts and prayers go out at this time of year, that each person may find some semblance of peace and joy. Regardless of your affiliation, regardless of if you celebrate Christmas, Kwanza, Channukah, Solstice, Festivus or anything else, may the twilight of 2011 be filled with bright and happy memories. May peace and love find its way to your life, and may 2012 dawn with a renewed sense of hope, and of faith. May you all be blessed, this loyal readers is my prayer, and until next time... Good night, and good luck.
