2008, a reflection

This past year was an uncomfortable one for me.  At times I felt like I didn't know myself anymore.  I have anger issues.  I'm grouchy and irritable.  Most of the time I felt like life was pressing in too hard, and I wanted to retreat.  Some days have been better than others.

This photo is blurry.  It adequately conveys my image of myself this past year.  Things are shifting in uncomfortable ways.  I'll share more about that after Christmas as I begin looking toward the new year and making plans.

I have high hopes for 2009.  I love fresh beginnings.  It's like opening a new journal for the first time and seeing all those crisp, white, blank pages.  The pen is poised...

Cheers to new beginnings! We are all becoming more sanctified and it is hard but good!

Oh, and I really like the header. I hadn't seen it before b/c I usually read your post from bloglines. Very pretty.

I always welcome the new year too. It's been a while since I have had what I would call "a good year." I'm hoping for one this year. I am so glad to have something to look forward to in May!

I don't know how you do it all around there. I'll be praying for grace for you. I love you!
