What can you say about a year?365 days, 24 hours, 7 days a week of laughter, tears, baseball, loads of laundry, hugs, flooding, near misses, snuggles, hurt feelings, knitting, homework, car pooling, stitches, Dr. visits, grocery shopping, txting, making dinner, good-byes, birthdays, wondering, movies, basketball, road trips, imagining....prayer...
It truly amazes me what we can squeeze in....lots and lots of daily living. It has been a good year-scratch that a GREAT year. My boys are healthy and close enough to give them a hug. Brian and I are both employed. We were not directly affected by the floods of 2008, we have a roof over head, food in the fridge, and much more to be thankful for.
My wish for you this new year is to, let this coming year be better than all the others. Vow to do some of the things you've always wanted to do but couldn't find the time. Call up a forgotten friend. Drop an old grudge, and replace it with some pleasant memories. Vow not to make a promise you don't think you can keep. Say 'no'. Walk tall, and smile more. You'll look ten years younger.(I am doing this for sure), Don't be afraid to say, 'I love you' & 'Thank You'. Say it again & again. They are the sweetest words in the world. Find joy in everyday life.
"I wish you sunshine on your path and storms to season your journey. I wish you peace-in the world in which you live and in the smallest corner of the heart where truth is kept. I wish you faith-to help you define your living and your life. More I cannot wish you-except perhaps Love-to make all the rest worthwhile."
