Dear 2007,
What can I say? It's almost time for us to bid one another "adieu" and, I'll admit, the thought of never seeing you again doesn't bother me that much. To say I have mixed feelings about you would be the understatement of the year (no pun intended).
We started out with a bang, but not in a good way. In the first month of our relationship, before you purchased me dinner or anything, I was told my brother had cancer and that I should be checked immediately. Now, I think we can both agree this isn't the best way to start things out.
I dealt with it, everything turned out fine and as a reward you gave me a new job in late February. It's a great job and I thank you for it. As if that wasn't enough, you sent me to New York City at the end of March! You lovable collection of months and days you!
You just couldn't let the good times roll, though, could you 2007?!? In March you sucker punched me with a wind storm that did damage to my roof and in September, I had to replace the 25 year old HVAC system in my house. Well, the silver lining behind that one is I got a good view of the balloon race from the roof as the guy installed my new chimney liner! Financially, the roof and HVAC was a one, two punch I really couldn't afford, 2007!
And then, of course, you had to revisit cancer by putting some of it on my dad's face. Nice touch there, bookending our time together with a deadly disease.
But, you did try to make up for all that towards the end of the year. We don't need to mention the details, but I do acknowledge that you're trying to start 2008 out right for me.
So, in the end 2007, our year together was...well, looking back at things, not as lackluster as I first thought! However, I will have to say you filled the year with a bit too many medical scares and financial hits than I normally like.
How do we close our year out, 2007? How about with a "I'll think of you fondly, but it's time for you to go." I look forward to continuing the good times & sowing the seeds of happiness you've given me, but I gladly turn my back on the rest.
Enjoy your place in history, 2007.
Goodbye,
Brick City
