As 2008 is ending my mind is turning to thoughts of 2009. What will it be like? What will I accomplish? These questions have even more meaning for me this year because my grandmother just passed away on Christmas Day... barely a week ago. She was diagnosed only 5 weeks ago with cancer and is now gone.
Life is so fleeting, I want to remember to take advantage of every moment that God gives me. I love this photo of the woman looking towards the horizon, seeing the journey ahead and with walking stick in hand, she is prepared to face it. I want to be prepared too! So, as I gaze out on the adventure of a new year ahead, I want to embrace every moment that I have and dare to dream! My resolutions for 2009? Be full of faith, hope and courage. With God's grace, these tools will get me through every step on my journey.
I hope you will join me in being brave and daring to dream really big! We can do it!!
Happy New Year!
Jennifer
Hi Jennifer... so sorry to hear about your grandmother but you are right, these experiences can support us to keep our priorities straight and live in the moment... it's really all we have! I look forward to seeing what amazing adventures await us in 2009!
