goodbye 2006

it really is that time again when everyone reflects that the year went by really quickly and that they felt like they just celebrated the new year yesterday. but how to encapsulate 2006 for me? my first few days of the year were spent on distant shores lonely and melancholic and the last days of 2006 is a mirror of that. in between, i commenced living my life and struck out on my own to great aplomb. it was a great year and i'm thankful for it. happy new year everyone.
