How time flies when were having fun!!! When 2007 ended and the dawn of a new light came upon us (the new year) I was hopeful, which is a lot for me since I’m the “Glass is half empty” sort of girl.

I hoped that big changes would take place, friends would be closer and money woes would ease. Well I got sucker punched by 2008. It came into my life wreaked havoc and tore friends and family from my life. People were injured, a friend took her own life, families split up, cars were crashed and my wife and I have failed in many attempts at child birth ( a very costly endeavor when you’re a lesbian couple).

Now is my time for reflection I suppose. Why did 2008 turn out so crappy…. Well if you ask my grandmother she’ll tell you that the planet Saturn has entered Virgo’s house about a year ago and that it takes 2 years for it to fully exit. She’ll tell you that  it has been known to tear at the fabric of your life. Virgos tend to die (my grandfather did) during this phenomenon, they may get divorced or quit their jobs, they may take their own lives or they could make horrible life decisions. While I believe in this theory I still am skeptical of it’s power. I wonder if any one else reading this has had the same sort of experiences this year?

You hear people tell you all of the time that your choices are what influence the outcome of your life/day/year etc. Well I am living god damn proof that that is just simply not true. Everything that happened this year was completely out of my hands. I didn’t start it and I couldn’t end it.  So fuck who ever said that!!!!

Here’s my plan. I will not look forward to the new year, I will pretend that the holiday season with its get togethers and fake family love do not exist. I’ll distance myself from those who cause me and my family (meaning my wife and close friends) pain or heartache. 

I am interested however in hearing if anyone else was negativly affected by 2008…. or Saturn which ever you feel it is.
