My blog has been quiet for a few weeks. I have been working
through some health issues, however, now, with Christmas past, and a new year
approaching, I decided to write a last post before closing out 2013.
It’s not uncommon to look back on the past and to consider
our mistakes and our losses. I do not plan to do that! I plan to move on with
vigor and purpose toward the goals I have set for myself. I cannot change the mistakes;
I can only learn life lessons from them and continue on. It would be easy to
think “I could a; should a; would a . . . but I’ve made a decision not to “should”
on myself! Having said that, I am looking forward to a fantastic year in 2014!
In the words of the Apostle Paul, “Brethren, I do not count
myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which
are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I
press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Phillipians 3:13-14” So. . . I press on.
I press on to new things and new adventures! Our lives are not dress rehearsals for the
big show, this IS the BIG SHOW! We get one shot and the older I get, the more I
understand our moment in the human dialog is fleeting at best. I am passionate about making my moment count.
I intend to be ready for the cue to my big scene!
I want the new year to find me a better woman. I want 2014
to be a year of reconciliation, peace and forgiveness. Life is too short to allow fear and anger to
intrude on my peace. I plan to be
available when opportunity comes knocking to do a good thing, to bless a
neighbor, a co-worker or family member.
I can’t wait to see what wonderful experiences the new year
brings! Maybe, just maybe, someone will produce the flying car I’ve been
waiting for since I first saw the JETSONS flying theirs!

belong to last year’s language and next year’s words await another voice.” –
