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.
