And Now It Begins

The New Year....2009! It's two hours and fifteen minutes old. I came home starved, but I had to do something first before I could munch. Went outside, looked up to the stars and gave my thanks. Expressed my confidence to be able to handle whatever He decides. To test me and my character on the path to blessings. For the past few years, I'd done this ritual on my apartment balcony and just pray nobody would do a drive-by as an extra firework for the New Years! This year was different. I was out in my own backyard. Sat on the bench, where Movie Man had bees buzz around his bald head this past Spring. On my balcony in 2006, I told God I knew something was coming and felt it could be handled. Three months later I had to decide if a little open-heart surgery would keep me down or if I would just rest, get up and live life. This year, as my buns froze on that cold bench, I told Him let's write this next chapter. Then I came in and ate a bowl of Total Raisin Bran instead of the fudge I craved. *Sigh*

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
