Looking Back on 2014
While I have been more than happy to see a few years disappear, 2014 wins the achievement award for reaching the all time highs of lows. I don't know about you guys, but I am so very glad to see 2014 go!
When asked what was most profound in 2014, the sudden death of Robin Williams immediately comes to mind. The follow up question was of course Why? Why, out of all the other celebrities who have died in 2014 and years past, why did Robin Williams' death hit so hard? Because I could so easily relate. Not claiming to understand 100% or know anything definite. No. I can only say how I feel. And it is those feelings that allow me a certain understanding to his situation. I get it. Doesn't mean I like it. Cause I don't. But I do get it.
For me personally, 2014 will be forever remembered as being the year that laughter died.
There were some things that occurred in my personal life that are personally profound.
In April of 2014, Chewie de La Fur, one of the original cats born in the house I currently live in. She was the last of the litter and the only one to survive the longest. Sweet little baby. And sadly, that August, my little tuxedo baby cat,Maddie Boots, crossed the Rainbow Bridge as well. Maddie was on death row when I found her in July 2009. She suffered from heart and lung ailments and had severe allergies. No one wanted the burden of caring for a sickly cat. So I took her home. I was told she wouldn't survive more than 6 months. *BIG SMILE* That adorable loveable incredible bundle of fur stayed with me a little over 5 years.
In June of 2014 my youngest child (and only daughter) graduated from High School. While I was (and am) very thrilled...I was also heart broken over the realization that my baby is all grown up and heading towards a life of her own. Yea, well I got over it. Not entirely...but I'm getting there.
On July 24th Children of the Luminaries Book One: The Coming Storm was published and made available to the public.
In September, I said good-bye to my oldest sister Shelby; then one month later good bye to my youngest sister Bobbie.
2014 has been the year of baiters and haters. Race, sex, gender orientation, you name it, the haters baited it and most of the population got hooked and reeled in the snares of social networking freezed dried bullshit!
The one good thing that came out of 2014? Well, if you want to call it a good thing. 2014 revealed the number of out right ignorant fuck-tards that are out there who, quite sadly, all have access to a computer and the internet.
You know, I can see why the governments around the globe are doing their utmost to "regulate" this internet thing. Of course it's like closing the damn gate after the horse got out. Too little too late.
Hopefully in the new year some genius will come up with a cure for stupid.
At any rate....Here's hoping 2015 will be better!
