connect closure

2008 is coming to an end... this word has done me good.

it's weird. i have never before had one word seemingly start to apply to everything. i admit, part of it is probably just the simple fact that once you notice something new, you start seeing it everywhere. or once you learn a new word suddenly everyone seems to be using it. and i agree that a lot of what connect came to represent this past year was probably my own construct; but i like to think that it was more than just coincidences. that word had inherent meaning and power. and it challenged me to start to tie it all together. which has not been an easy task...

and now? i know i'm ready for something new. (and i guess that's the point of starting over every twelve months.) but, for melodrama's sake, how will i ever find another word to take it's place? connect left some big shoes to fill.

so the search begins for another word that, ideally i just stumble upon, find to fit surprisingly really well, and run with.
