This year is coming to a close. After 17 years, I find myself back in counseling. I really thought I knew myself, people and life better. It’s time for a reality check. I don’t think much of the psycho babble has changed from buzz words like codependent, boundaries and the likes. I guess the worse part of this circle is that I hope that my daughter doesn’t get the “disease.” I thought I understood life by living my life just the opposite as I was taught. My sister is learning that by letting her son have his way, letting him be a kid as long as possible, has not turned out the completely sane and happy young adult she expected. It’s really ironic. I am thinking that this bad economy has made us all a little more tilted to one side.

I am wishing each and every one of you a Happy New Year filled with love, hope, prosperity and peace.
