2010

2010 is going to be a good year. Everyone is healthy and all is well, at least as far as I can tell. I sometimes wish I could see what's coming down the pike in a crystal ball, or if I wanted the easy out, I could just subscribe to Nostradamus' manifesto. But hark (the herald angels sing), those options just aren't good enough, nor are they even close to giving me what I want and need.

This year, I will leave it up to the Lord and have faith that whatever happens, it is His plan. I no longer feel like I need to know the details. I only need to be present, as in the long term, that may be all that matters.

It is so easy to take it all for granted, don't you think? Such as our health, our loved ones, our insight, our story. We live day-to-day, thinking that there is always tomorrow. And, if we are lucky, tomorrow comes, everyone stays healthy, and our story continues for one more day.

It's 2010. A new year, a new beginning, a time to crawl out of our old skin and into a new one, to inhale deeply, and to see all that is around us with new eyes.

Happy New Year!! I hope we grow old together and enjoy all that is good around us for a long time to come.

Love and Peace.
