Looking Forward to 2009


I think my overwhelming temptation at the New Year is to look backwards and from my disappointments or failures determine what I want in the year to come. I think I am always trying to accomplish more or somehow make amends for where I feel I have fallen short. So for me I am choosing to look forward not based on my past this year but on what I expect and desire for the future.

I hope and pray that in 2009 I will:

Make 2009 a year that is truly family first and that I would cherish the time spent with them as I watch them all grow

Lead with passion and from my heart

Be about journeys - both spiritual and physical

Invest in friendships, that in many cases have been long neglected, because I want them and need them

Make peace with what I can and cannot do

I look forward to 2009.
