I have been reflecting on the
year 2009 and have come to many new conclusions.
It's been an amazing ride for this cowgirl and by God I am still on my horse.
Here are just few of my many tangled thoughts.
I have learned of a wider world out there and I know
it has so much more to offer... I only need to ask for it.
If I search out the answers to my questions
I will find them...eventually.
It only takes my time and desire to get more out of life.
Put forth an effort and the rewards will be ten fold.
There are good people in this world, who are ready to
open up their hearts and offer a kind
word or a compassionate gesture.
They are hiding in the most interesting places...just seek them out.
As the world seems to be falling apart all around us we need to
look into each others souls because, deeply
embedded in this world is its heart, a heart that thrives on the goodness that
is the human spirit.
I believe the human spirit keeps this world together.
With all the terrible things we hear each day,
we can counter those stories with 100 more
great stories of human kindness.
GOOD OUT WEIGHS THE BAD!
In 2010 my goal is to search out the positive in life, look for the goodness
in others and continue my quest for happiness in all that I do.
Sometimes easier said than done.
The road before me is filled with potholes waiting suck me in...but I am much
better prepared for this trip ... I have sharpened my defensive driving techniques this time around the block. My reaction time will be much quicker as I approach the rough roads because I have learned
and I will continue to learn how to keep focused on what great things lie ahead.
I will not get stuck on the negative...I will pry myself from its grips.
They say... take things in small step for best success.
In my world it's baby steps...
...each day needs to be taken on an individual basis and lived to its fullest.
If I can remember that...I should be good.
I am the TURTLE you know.
Finally...my pictures from Christmas Eve.
Oh ...you just had to be there.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL !
MAY GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU IN YOUR JOURNEY.
