Wow! What a long list. I like the idea that I have done at least half and I hope for many healthy years to accomplish the other half. Of course I hope that I have my camera in hand and capture the beautiful moments to come. And now that the year is gone, I look to a new year, and know that it will be full of much possibility and promise. What do you think the new year will hold for you? I also wonder what is hiding...waiting...for me(us) to discover?
Goody bye 2008 and hello 2009. I'm ready to see what God has in store for me in the next 365 days. I wish you all a very Happy New Year!!!
