December Review 2009

As 2009 comes to an end, I reflect on the past year

so full of love,

laughter and tears,

success and failure,

change and familiarity

and all that exists in

this kaleidoscope called life.

I am blessed and grateful for all these gifts

and welcome 2010 with an open and willing heart.

***

Thank you for following my Inspirations

and my world as it

has transitioned this year.
