2008 Has Been a Blurr. . .
I think I say this every year, but it really seems like this year has flown by in a blurr. My baby girl is now six years old, and we are preparing to inagurate the first Black President of the United States. Our economy has slipped into a recession, which means hard times are here again. My philosophy is to strike a balance between hopeful optimism and abject denial of the current state of affairs. I don’t see how it’s productive to get all down and depressed because the economy sucks right now. I am alive,and well my children are alive, healthy and happy. We have a home and food to eat, so it’s all good. I am thankful for every blessing that God sends, and I do my best to give and share what I have with those who have even less than we do.
This has been a strange year for me. It began with me poised to realize a big goal of buying my first home. I was greatly disappointed when that did not work out, but through the months that followed, I can see that God had his hand in it, and it was all for the best. I will get my house when the time is right and when the right house comes along. Patience is something that I pray for and work towards every day because it does not come naturally to me. I am confident that what God has for me no person can keep from me. What others have meant for evil towards me, God has turned things around and made it for the best, so I won’t complain. I know that He is working things out for me.
Normally at this time of the year I sit down and set goals for the coming year, but for some reason I don’t feel compelled to do that this year. There are some things in my heart that I have always desired, and since God in His wisdom created me He also created those desires in my heart. I am going to work towards living fully in each moment and loving each moment and seeing where life takes me.
Do you plan to set some big new goals for the coming year? What is the one thing that you hope to be able to accomplish in 2009?
