Ending 2008 On A High Note

This year has been an interesting one, to say the least. Definitely filled with its downs, but the ups have been waaay up there. You know, sometimes we are so greatly challenged by circumstances and we feel that it is to prepare us for more circumstances down the road, but I've learned something different this year. To me, challenging circumstances have nothing to do with more circumstances...they are just a means to strengthen the relationships in your life. If you can weather the storms in your life with the people in your life by your side...then the situation doesn't make a difference. That's how I'm ending this year; with some amazing relationships by my side. I have no idea what this next year will bring, but I know that, together, with the people in my life, I will make it through on the other side...and well, how can that make me wanna do anything less than celebrate my way into 2009, as I celebrate the blessing of relationship.

Short and sweet.

I hope you all have a Happy and safe New Year's Eve, however you bring in the new year, my wish for you is that your heart be filled with the knowledge of the ones in your life that have your back.

Happy New Year!
