A new hope...

The photo to your left is from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. I chose it not since tonight is about classic science fiction. But because it was "a new hope" in the saga that is now the 6 episodes of the Star Wars series. What makes the photo choice most appropriate is that I have spent the last 6 weeks pondering my life over the past 6 years. Hopefully the triple 6's are not an omen.

Over the past few weeks I have been chatting and just started dating someone who has made me feel like there is a chance for happiness in my life. While we have only known each other a short time, and we are taking things so, this has at least given me a new hope that I can open myself up to someone again. Something that I have been wondering about for quite some time now.

Life has begun again for me in a way that is both special and affirming. It is my chance to try to get things right this time. No more regrets, no more looking at the past. The present and future are bright and I am not going to let anything destroy that for me.
