Looking Somewhere

Reflecting back on a year of ups and downs.

Highs. Lows. Kidneys. Toes.

CWD. A1C. DOC. TCOYD.

A year of good times and rough times.

Laughs. Tears. Firsts. Lasts. Fears.

Pushing on into the next 365.

Hope. Plans. Dreams. Concerns.

So many paths to choose.

Shaking off regrets. Looking ahead.

Forcing myself to change.

Another year has gone by and the song is the same.

Will this be the year?

My year?

Didn’t I say that last year?

Don’t I say that every year?

So what?!?

“Yes, You Can”

Two types of thoughts continually vie for your attention. One says, “Yes, you can.” The other says, “No, you can’t.” One says, “God will help you.” The other lies, “God has left you.” … One proclaims God’s strengths; the other lists your failures. One longs to build you up; the other seeks to tear you down.

And here’s the great news: you select the voice you hear. Why listen to the mockers? Why heed their voices? Why give ear to pea brains and scoffers when you can, with the same ear, listen to the voice of God?

Turn a deaf ear to old voices. And, as you do, open your eyes to new choices…

YES! Great poem, George. I'm with you - my version of that poem almost does read the same, in many ways, with what I'd said and done at the end of last year looking ahead. I supposed there's always the notion of progress, that we have the ability to know what we do to move forward. Here's to hoping we find some of that for 2012. Looking forward to it.

change is always hard. it's easier to keep things the way they are.

no matter what 2012 brings, we're with you all the way. happy new year, friend!
