Late December

Once again I'm breathing shallowly until midnight on Jan 1. There have been few breaks, over the last few years, for this family, from having funeral preparations to get through during the last few days of December. Two years in a row there were funerals on New Year's Day and that sure makes for a dampened outlook for the year to come.

Memories replace resolutions for us but I do think we resolve to live life to it's fullest because we know without a doubt just how quickly it can be gone.
