Gratitude 12.30.09
Today I am grateful the New Year. I know that it’s not quite here yet, but knowing that 2010 is swiftly approaching brings me a sense of renewal and rejuvenation. New Year’s is one of my favorite holidays. I’m not so much about the midnight excitement, but the fresh start the next morning brings. I love that New Year’s is shiny and new. It sparkles with the many possibilities that will unfold over the next twelve months.
This New Years isn’t just the start of a new year. It’s the start of a new decade – a new era. What events will define the next 10 years of our lives? Will it be a national tragedy? Will we end our dependence on oil? Will poodle skirts and sweater sets come back into style? Will we find the cures to the world’s most deadly diseases? Will we elect our first female president? Will the marijuana become legalized?
No one knows. That’s the beauty of it. I am so grateful for the many possibilities that will come my way in the next year, (or 10 years). I can dream about what events will shape my life and how I will grow. But, I am most grateful that despite my best planning efforts, I have no idea what will come. The unknown is the best part.

OMG Are sweater sets out of style???
It’ll be interesting to see how 2010 plays out, won’t it? =)
I would love it if poodle skirts came back
And marijuana WILL become legal, I say. (or it should once they see all the benefits and realize that if alcohol is legal, marijuana should be)
I too am looking forward to the new year and new decade.
Happy New Year!!
