My letter to you Miss 2011 –
For some reason you were attractive, alluring, coquettish, flirty but you made promises you didn’t deliver. Oh sure there were some winks, nudges if you will, a come hither look now and then but you rejected my advances like a scorned lover when all I wanted was to embrace you in all your naked glory. I was nothing if not honest and yet I cannot say the same about you. If only you had let me in on the travails that lay ahead, I could’ve trained, done extra pushups, whatever it took to be pumped and ready for the long haul but no, you lulled me with your false bravada, luring me then delivering the ultimate dismissal. Well hear this – you and I are through. It takes me a while to get the message but your message was clear – you and I are not a good fit. The wounds have healed, the salve applied and now it is time to meet Mr. 2012 w/gusto and meet him I will, for I am nothing if not determined and I am determined to learn from all the pain and mistakes and to build a stronger me even tho’ you weren’t able to be a better you. So, take heed when I say that I won’t miss you when you’re gone Miss 2011. Good riddens to a lady who brought nothing but despair and welcome dear 2012, man of mystery, oh how you sing to me, bring to me many more opportunities of delight, deliciousness and delectable fare! I look forward to nuzzling your neck, nurturing your nature and basking in your strength. Here’s to a new love affair, may this one bear the true fruits of my labor and be far less laborious and far more effortless like a wind dancing through the willows as they gently blow in the breeze. Happy New Year. Bon Annee!
