Happier Endings to New Beginnings

I already had this one figured out. For several days now, I had kept this yearender entry on my desktop, just waiting for the pictures to be up loaded... when the expected unexpected came. I accidentally erased my entry... What is it with my hate-affair with computers?! Negative charge is what I call it. Let me have no more of that in the coming new year, please...

So anyway, here I am again, now on the eve of New Year's Eve, reminiscing...

As a year comes to a close, one always looks back on the twelve months gone by.

For some, it's all about looking at their achievements, even patting themselves on the back as they do so. And then setting even more goals for the coming year.

For others, ending the year can only mean new hope for the next. They might even heave a sigh of relief that this one's over... being that this year seemed like the whole world had gone to the dogs.

As this year comes to a close, I am just completely thankful for the blessings called Noel, family and friends.

This year will end as it should because the next will begin as it should.

And with lots of prayers, I just hope it will be filled with happier endings to new beginnings.
