Reflections

Looking back at this last decade and understanding that life is a journey -always changing, always evolving.

REFLECTIONS

Looking back at the years gone by,

Remembering the laughter and the things that made me cry.

I’ve said goodbye to some friends that I knew,

And opened the door to many who are new.

Life has taught me lessons that are hard to forget,

And assured me there are more I haven’t learned yet.

Life’s journey is full of highs and lows,

There will always be good and evil, friends and foes.

As we welcome in a brand new year,

Cherish in your heart the ones you hold dear.

Take time each day to thank God above,

For the blessings he pours down from his love.

Keep hope, love and faith by your side,

And enjoy this amazing, wonderful ride.

My top 12 lessons of the last decade.

2. The valuable things in life cannot be bought.

10. Worry changes nothing

11. You cannot control what happens, you can only control how you respond.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
