new years eve

it's new years eve and my household is anything but festive.  that's just fine with me.  all the dogs are curled up sleepy as is my beloved steve in his recliner.  men and their recliners.  i asked him earlier if he made any new years resolution.  he was quiet for a moment, which tells me he's actually thinking about his answer, and finally said 'to quit smoking'.  i seconded that.  he didn't ask me if i had made any and if he had i wouldn't have had an answer.  i think as i've become older it's what i resolve to do, but how did i hold up the year before.  i've had a number of major changes in my life the past two years and live a life i had no hope for.  while it is strife with complications right now, i can honestly say it's a life i have chosen, and i've survived worse.  but this time i'm not alone.  happy new year.
