We are coming to the end of another year. 

 It will be my 39th time to pass into another.

I've seen a great many things happen in thirty nine years.  Some of my memories are filled with unfortuante sadness; but many are filled with sweetness, sunshine, laughter, and joy.  I have been blessed to have experienced so many wonderful things in my life.  This past year has had good and bad as have other years before it.  Something within won't let me dwell too long on the bad...I always will myself to push past those.  Instead I want to focus on the times this past year that made me laugh, made me sigh with happiness and breathe in all the goodness that God has allowed me to experience.   I want to cling to the good, the moments that were the best and favorite of the year.  We shall see what time will bring in 2010... As Judy Garland sings.."Next year on, our troubles will be out of sight".
