… fresh & new

I just love beginnings. . .

I'm an 'anticipator' by nature, & like other events, I have found myself really looking forward to the start of this new year. . .

. . . seeingly more than in years past.

I'm not certain why. . . I've been pondering why for the past week, & can't really explain my anticipation for this new year, so I'm just going to enjoy this new beginning.

 I feel like the beginning of a new year is like a brand new sketch book. . .

They all kind of look the same, 

but it's the blank pages 

that we get to fill with the pieces of ourselves. . .

We get to dream when looking at all crisp white pages. . .

. . . dream of what's to come.

. . . dream of filling the pages with our dreams, our ideas, & our hearts.

That's what I want to do with this new year. . . this fresh, new 'sketchbook' of my life. . .

I want to fill it with my heart.

. . . & to let me heart be a bit more transparent this year.

That's a little scary for me. . . but I know that I have been blessed with so much,

& without sharing it (& more importantly - the source of it!), I would be hiding the Light that fills my life under a bushel. . . (so to speak!)

. . . So, welcome 2011!

. . . & I wish for you the promise & blessings of this new day & this new year.

May it be filled with a new & fresh outlook for us all!
