Taking this time to reflect on the last 30 years and set intentions to live a full life for next 30. Yep, I'd choose a lifetime like mine. With out a doubt this year will have obstacles to challenge me, people to "test" me, and circumstances that force me to see things that even I have never seen before. And I'll choose a personality, which possesses faith so daring that even when lost, I still hope. Dreams so bold that even when I fall, I'll get back up. And a heart so big that even when it breaks, as all big hearts do, there'll always be an abundance of love showering flowers upon me!

I will not hesitate to recieve joy! For joy is truly bestowed upon us abundently! The older i get the more i realise that as i rest in God's love, the more freely blessings flow into me, becoming brighter and more beautiful. In the light of this love, i am gradually transformed from glory to glory. How wide, how long how high and deep is this love! It seems too good to be true! And yet all we have to do is receive it?! We live in a world characterized by working and taking, the thought to rest and recieve seems too easy. But we are free, all of us, to do just that. With this kind of hope to excite us, nothing holds us back! And i would bet that the things to come in this next chapter of life will be far more than i could ever imagine or guess or request in my wildest dreams.
