Similar to last year, I was really nervous about the way 2009 would be rung in. My superstition, coupled with a few times where the year came in on the wrong note, left me wondering if I’d have any hope for 2009.
As New Years approached, I began reconsidering the superstition that has controlled my actions for the past many years. I began to consider that perhaps it has nothing to do with the physical things like if your house is clean, or if you are physically with those whom you love when the year changes. Maybe it has to do more with the frame of mind you are in, such as having a hopeful outlook, trusting those you love, and believing in love that leads to good in the coming year. At least that is my hope.
With another year behind me, I reflect upon the past year, noting a few of the highlights, and realizing that the year, although difficult at times, did end up becoming a year of change for the better as I had originally hoped.
Take a look…
