Lost

No direction.
No motivation.
No energy.
Broken.
Leaving 2009 behind is like walking away from a war. I am bruised and battered and limping away from this war that I lost. Or did I? I guess I am still here. My family is intact, just. It just doesn't feel like a win.
Last night the last song they played before the fireworks was 'Lola' by the Kinks. I should have been happy and thinking that Lola was looking out for us. I just cried through the whole song. She should have been there.
I have never cried at midnight on New years before last night.
I guess I will just pick myself up and brush myself off and try again.
I have big plans and ideas and goals for 2010.
They might have to wait till tomorrow, or the next day, or next week. I am bloody tired!

That would have been heartwrenching. I find NYE to be an emotional time, there seems to be so much we are forced to file in our memories under "2009", and the thoughts of the year ahead can be daunting. I hope that in 2010 you reach all of your goals, your plans turn out well, and your ideas come into fruition.

Yet more {hugz}...
So many songs seem to be about 'lost my baby' etc.

(Yet another date you have survived.)
