at the beginning of each new year it is a tradition for most to have one (or more) resolution(s). most of the time they are something like, go on a diet, or quit smoking, or eat healthier, etc …. some look at the new year as a time to kickstart themselves into creating a better life. i have always looked at the new year resolution thing kind of like a fresh start. being able to learn from the previous years mistakes to be able to further myself in the future. but i generally do not do the resolution thing.
i guess the reason im bringing this up is because i was just given some news by my gf, about a family member of hers who has just been diagnosed with cancer. now this is the brother of my gf’s mom. the one who today worked her last day, because her company is downsizing the department she worked in. the past 4-5 years it seems has brought one situation after another, after another. so much in fact, that i have many times heard the phrase “what next” being uttered from various family members. unfortunately, there always seems to be something. almost as if it was a challenge. kind of like “oh - that wasn’t bad enough ? well here’s some more, let’s see if you can handle this.” i apologize, im just kind of pissed.
this stuff has to end
