twenty-ten

i get all reflective this time of year.

does anyone else?

i think there is something very profound about the beginning and end of things.
years.
lives.
stories.
journeys.

not because the beginning and end are the most important part,
but because it presents an ideal opportunity to

remember
dream
change
plan
reflect
rejoice
pray
share

just think about the birth of a new baby. or a funeral.
the last day of the year. or the first.
a wedding day. or a divorce.

these are moments in life--special moments--that make time slow down and make me appreciate things to a greater degree.

today is one of these days.
the last hours of twenty-ten.
it will never been 2010 again. crazy.

so today I plan on spending some time with my journal.
reflecting on 2010.
praying about 2011.
it has become a tradition of mine.
and it is fun to go back and read what I wrote a year ago.
or five.

i am very excited to see what God has in store.
no matter what it is, I'm sure it will be good.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Thanks for reading in 2010. :)
