It has been a while since I last blogged. Focusing on one particular issue and then remembering it once I get out of the shower has been a little difficult lately. That being said, I will review my 2009.
It started with the funeral of my godmother and ended with the funeral of the mother of one of our friends. Oddly, both succumbed to cancer. In between January and December, we bought our first house and we even moved into it. I met a new friend who helps me sort out some things.
So far, I have found out that I do not have to observe life but I can participate. The problem is that I like observing. People are fascinating. They do all sorts of things for both good and bad reasons. I am fascinated by the Tiger Woods situation but it obviously has absolutely no relevance to my life. I feel for both Tiger and his wife Elin. I think, based on the facts coming out, he really never should have entered into a monogamous arrangement. His situation to me at least, parallels the situation of many people in that he was trying to live up to societal expectations or norms even though he must have known that for whatever reason he was either unable or unwilling to follow those norms. Like I said, I am fascinated by the situation but saddened by the emotional turmoil they are going through and the need for us as a society to feel disappointment in him and as opposed to compassion for them.
