TGIF and sweep up the confetti...

The first week of 2008 is coming to a close. 365 days ago I had no idea what the year had in store for me, and I am sure I will be just as surprised 365 days from today. I don't think I would have believed anyone if they told me the 2007 story anyway. I have gained and lost people in my life, moved, had to see my siblings as adults, not as children. One of my oldest and dearest friends became pregnant with her first child, that event in itself made me stop and think about what is truly important, and what I can close the book on.
I am generally anxiety riddled at the thought of major change, but by some grace of God; I am looking forward to this year. I really hate to say it, because I will sound older than I actually am, but with age, wisdom does come. (even for me :) ) After all, Thursday's Child has far to go anway, right?
So, we should all raise our stiens to the distant horizon and embrace what ever it is that we are sailing into. (and maybe put on a lifevest, and a helmet, and maybe some padding...)
