2011 Taxes

Yea! I got up the courage to complete my USA Tax report and get it filled. That’s one of two sure things in life I am glad is over. The other sure thing I am going to continue putting off for as long as possible. I only get one shot at that one and I know it is impossible to miss. Ha!

I always look to the middle of April with some feeling of dread. I feel like the prisoner who really isn’t too comfortable deciding what to have as a final meal. Well, maybe not that bad. I really don’t know what that is like. I can only assume.

Now that it is over and I am still alive, I realize it wasn’t that bad after all; especially since there are a few shekels coming back to me from government storage. That huge weight of depression from thinking I might have to pay additional tax has been lifted too. That has been an outcome too many times in the past. Today I can walk a bit taller and faster with a jingle in my pocket… but still need my cane.

I have another 365 days to ponder the weight of this year’s burden next year.
