HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!

2007 is drawing to an end ….so they say…

However when you think about it really¬†…it is simply… the beginning ….

It is the front door that opens to a New Year …. new expectations¬†…¬†and a new road for us to travel¬†

As I¬†remember 2007 …. I think about all the bumps in that road .. …. the rocks I tripped over… and the hills that I climbed… the sky that I reached for…..the start of my business…. the mistakes I¬†made which in turn have taught me new lessons¬†…. and the friendships I have forged ….¬†¬† there has been happiness and sadness…. tears….joy…laughter and ¬†pain…. it has been a year of discovery …..¬†a lot about myself…. my talents…. my moods….. my creativity ….and a lot about the wonderful friends who have touched my heart¬†in ways that¬†I can’t really¬†describe …¬†

I have been inspired by the¬†‘BUCKETS” of ¬†creative talents that know no boundaries….. the strong and beautiful¬†ladies (and men)¬†that I would never have known or seen had it not been for this fabulous world we call blogging…¬†¬†we have¬†the ability to reach across the miles to different parts of the country …. to learn about the everyday lives of those so far away…. we are¬†living a piece of¬†history if¬† you think about it …..¬†we are pioneers…..¬†¬†we are able to communicate freely with someone who lives in Australia…¬† learn about their families… their daily routines… the music they love… the food they eat…. all through the wonders of the internet….we dont just see it through photos in a book…. we actually experience it with them and many have become a part of our extended families… how neat is that?

I think about how lucky we are to have this freedom¬†and ability to reach for the stars …

I am looking forward to 2008 with enthusiasm… anticipation…and ever growing excitement …..¬†

So I thank those who have been a huge part of my life in 2007 and I look foward to those who will be a huge part of my life in 2008!

My¬†wish for¬†everyone is health…¬†happiness….. friendship¬†and LOVE……¬†in the New Year!
