So long 2013, welcome 2014

I've been fighting with myself all day about this post. Do I do the selfish thing, tell the world to fuck the fuck off, and go hide in the closet with a bottle of rum and my sagging spirits, and whimper in the New Year? Or do I pull up my Big Girl Panties, you know the black ones with the straps across the ass and the big red bow, put the patented WiserAngel grin on my face, stuff the pain and hurt and disappointments in a wee little box, and party like an Angel should? What would Jesus want me to do? What's the polar opposite of that?

So what does an Angel do who's lost good friends, found good friends, is currently mourning the most recent loss and not really sure how to let go? Bear in mind the meds I'm currently taking severely restrict alcohol consumption. I've wrestled my demons for two days; we're all exhausted and it's starting to look more like snuggling. I'm beginning to believe my most stable relationships are with my demons; they've never threatened to leave me, never turned their backs on me, and always seem to be there when I'm at my lowest.

So, with the advice of said demons tickling my brain, I offer this:

May we take every pain and disappointment 
and use them as armor instead of anchors. 
May we face the coming year with humor and grace, 
riding the waves instead of letting them roll us under. 
May 2013 Fuck the Fuckity Fuck off. 
It can pucker up and kiss my ass.

Happy New Year!

    As a soon to be retired chemist, I would need to examine all the variables to be able to determine which action would be most appropriate in this situation. Therefore I would require photos of you in the big girl panties along with any other relevent data that is available. I only do this for purely scientific purposes...............

    May your New Year be much better than the old one.

    Happy New Year, HWA, you lovely Texas lass! To you and all your readers. Great way to end the old year. Can't wait for some New Year....er....um....motivation. Party as hard as you can, sleep in tomorrow, then round up those panties, put em in the wash, and start all over again. Just remember, Rage against the dying of the light, for the alternative is not acceptable to folks of our ilk.

    That's the spirit Angel! Keep fighting and laugh in the face of all the bad stuff and bastards. You are stronger than them. Thank you for making my 2013 a much better place through your writing and sharing. Have a very Happy New Year! Gary Seven

    P.S. Nice big girl panties! They wouldn't hide the spank marks. ;-)

    Remember the words of Dylan (the good one) Thomas:
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
    Resolve to enjoy 2014, even as it makes you nostalgic for 2013, safe in the certainty it will be better than 2015.
    Let's go out with banners flying.

    It's not us that necessarily want to spank you, but that you seem to want to be spanked.

    Enjoy it a bit, do you?

    Happy New Year!
