Stroke of Midnight
















The countdown to the new year always seems to pass me by.  Physically, at least.  Mentally or emotionally, some things still sit at the back of my mind.

Some years, I don't mind hanging out with a few friends and just having a good time.  To some extent, it's a way to take my mind off the heavier things.  But it's also nice to just spend time with good people, doing whatever.

Some years, I just have no interest in anything.  Perhaps this New Year's Eve was one of these.  I guess it's a combination of things.  Partly, it's because it's been so busy and tiring that I just want a break: some peace and quiet, some time alone.  Partly, it's because my mind and heart are so overwhelmed by things that are too heavy to handle.

When the clock stroked midnight, I was too busy to notice.  But when I did finally get to sit down, a lot of things re-played in my mind.

Time keeps going by, but things are still not right.
