releasing old to recieve new

as i sit here, 5:49pm December 31, 2008, I am excited. Its 25degrees outside in the tri-state area and the with wind at 40mph. I knew I had no plans for the evening, you see I'm recovering from sinus surgery earlier this month. Its been a year filled with happy times, sad moments, deaths and births; accomplishments and disappointments. It believe that simply is what life is about. Whoopi Goldberg said today on The View that God simply wants us to have "balance". I quickly accepted that. Im not sure what the topic was that the panel was discussing but they were debating what life is really about and the what ifs, etc. HHHmmm balance, yes thats pretty much what it is about. I need grief to make me stronger, I need heart ache to make me humble and compassionate, I need death in order to live, accomplishments for validation "I can".

Well 2009 is about 6 hours away. I wont make those list, you know the ones. My divine has blessed me with 365 days of the year 2008 and I am thankful today for any day blessed with in 2009. The new year before me will serve as a new begining as each day is. I have sssssssssssoooooooooooo many dreams, desires, goals and ideas. Sometimes it overloads me-lol. One thing for sure in this year to come I will not hold back, I will not suppress, I will not refrain from letting my gift grow. I know my talents and what gives me great joy. I have already surrounded myself around lovers of yarns and needles like myself and will use this opportunity to truly release what is in me.

I pray for strength, guidance, discipline, good health and faith not only for myself but for my children.
