the failed canary in the lightswitch

And sometimes the night looks like morning, while at other times like rain.

This past year wasn't what I wanted. Though there were exquisite moments, beautiful, troubling and lovely, I've been left tired and burned out, worn down to the grain. In spite of obscene amounts of effort to the contrary, I remain plagued by chronic debt, injuries, and unemployment, and the haunting suspicion that no matter how hard I fight against these things, it's possible that I will never escape.

I hope this coming year will be one where good things will come to you, where your soul can rest and reinvigorate, where challenges though present will be overcome and not feel insurmountable.

While there may not be a whole lot I can do to directly help in such an endeavour, there is friendship and there are warm, kind thoughts headed your way. And I know that I'm not the only one who finds the world a better place with Jhayne in it.

Sorry to hear that these problems continue to persist. As always, if I see/hear of anything that sounds even remotely like gainful employment, I shall send it your way.

Welcome. You're in good company.

Yep. And, we learn to live with the disappointments and carry on. We learn to take delight in whatever we can, and sustain ourselves with the glow of it.

"Though there were exquisite moments, beautiful, troubling and lovely," I would end my 2010 sentence with different terms, but these nine words express the beginning of it so perfectly I had to reply.
