A Moment to Reflect

Somewhere I lost a week of my life. Between Christmas shopping, wrapping and hiding gifts, visiting family and attempting to eat my body weight in stuffing - seven days passed by with barely a whisper. As I sit here, black-eyed peas simmering on the stove, I am taking a moment to reflect, not just on this past week but on the year as a whole. I have long since stopped making New Years resolutions, but cannot help but be hopeful that the new year will bring positive changes and opportunities. There is simply something rejuvinating in seeing one year pass into another. Let us take a moment to reflect on the lessons learned in 2008 and bring that wisdom with us as we reign in the new year. Happy New Year all - See you in 2009!
