I am still down and depressed. Thankfully, I only cried once yesterday, and that was after I read about an Iraqi boy with Cerebral Palsy being adopted by a single American guy. Nicki admitted to me last night that she wasn't too thrilled with this time of year, too.

They say loss gets easier to cope with as time goes on. No, it doesn't. If anything, it's the hardest for me this year. I have been keeping in touch with people via e-mail. I have been getting out of the house, barely. I did some dog sitting Thursday night up in Springfield. I took Ben to work on Saturday and looked around Best Buy. I played computer games and Dr. Mario, when not watching football, yesterday. Still, I'm sad and I feel alone.

I hope next Christmas season is not as lonely as this one has been/will be. I hope God will bless me with a life that won't be on the verge of collapsing. I hope God will have finally shown me the guy I'm meant to be with. If Joey and Lindsey and Jessie can have faith I won't be alone much longer, than so can I. I just wish God would give me a sign.

However, I thought I'd post something inspired by Radical Georgia Moderate. It's my 2007 in review, in pictures. I uploaded 3976 photos to my Flickr account this year. I narrowed them down to a few that showed my life. It was hard to narrow them down to just 42.

I'm not sure what I'll be doing tomorrow. Probably not much. But, I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
