Year In Review is tragedy a noun or a verb as I look at the year in review I have overextended my emotions and I feel I deserve this new arrival lately, I admit I have prayed selfishly as the tears fell constantly on window pains feeling like I am looking out more than in I question everything as resolution is in why but find there are things with no ground in reasons I have been around the world and back traveling in my own shoes that still fit yet, placing them carefully away with that journey over blindly tomorrow I face life with a new compass following a new horizon for nothing is out of reach "The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." |

Awesome way to see the year coming Helen, and yes, so many things are obtainable if you believe they are. Happy New Year m'friend. All things are going to end well - truth will win out - you watch. |

but find there are things with no ground in reasons That's always where I find my head hitting the brick wall... and that wall's still doing just fine. *S* I love this... I've never been one to believe in entitlement... but oh, yes... better is deserved. *S* Superb!!! |

Just remember dear Helen that on that compass, N stands for New Places you want to see E stands for Everywhere you’ve already been S stands for Somewhere over the horizon And W That stands for Wonders you haven’t seen yet. Happy travels, but If you ever lose your way, just do what I do, and look up PIP is up there, somewhere in the blue.  |

this really struck me: "I have prayed selfishly as the tears fell constantly on window pains feeling like I am looking out more than in" may the New Year be a good one for you |

So long, 2008! It's onward and upward! Keep on trekking and into new, friendly territory! "I face life with a new compass following a new horizon for nothing is out of reach" With a positive attitude like that, there are no limits!  May this new year be one of inner peace, prosperity, and wonderful new beginnings!  Linda |

I was happy to take down that calendar, put up the new one offering 'more opportunities' to make the most of each day. Helen, that final stanza is uplifting. Happy New Year to you.  |
