Last night before I went to bed I was pondering all of the things I have accomplished this year.  There haven't been a lot of successes in a lot of areas, and I'm fine with that.

What I will really remember about 2008 is that it was the year of healing for me.  I've been able to talk with two of the three most influential people in my life.  I've been able to discuss with them what has happened, how I felt about what happened, and just generally clear the air.  I hope it won't take me about 10 years to get to the third guy. 

This year has also seen me becoming closer to my sister and she and I forgiving one another for all of the craziness of childhood, adolescence, and our early years as adults.

I guess it is true... you do get better as you age.
