- It's been a difficult year for changes in our lives.  A lot of losses, not many gains.  Some years are like that. We always hope for better days ahead.....eternal optimists, aren't we?
- I think this year I have begun to mellow a little bit.  I seem to be able to slow down my pace of life and relax a little more.  It may be age, but I hope it's wisdom.
- This year I have lost several really good friends, they have gone on ahead of me to glory.  I miss them.  I know that the reality of life is that more and more of those you know will depart before you do.  Today I'm thinking about faces I have lost this year that I will greatly miss.  
- I am blessed.  More than I can even describe in words I am blessed.  I don't have a big house or new car or much in the bank, but I feel more blessed than I can describe.  Thanks Lord.
- It's the end of the year, time to make resolutions.  I only have one- eat right.  My goal in the new year is to lose a few pounds and eat better.
- At the end of each year I read the book of Ecclesiastes.  Today is the day.  It's a great book to read at the end of a year, but you have to read it in one sitting.  It makes a big difference in your view of things as the new year arrives.
- Regrets?  A lot.  My list of "I wish I would have..."  is long.  Sorry about that.  
- Hopes?  I hope to walk with God in a way that pleases him.  I have no idea where or what that will look like, but I hope and pray I can do that in the new year.
- Plans?  Africa in April.  I will try to stop in Israel on the way back, still working on that.  Never been there, need to try to stop since I will be flying over.  
I hope you all have a wonderful 2012.  Live well, live for God, enjoy your year.
