The end of another year.

It is late December, my mind is racing thinking about the end of another year and the many events that have happened. I start the year full of hope and in the end I still have hope in my spirit. It has been a mixture of good and bad as any year may be. The many blessings I have I am grateful for. It is in these blessings I find strength to build my inner resources so I can be fortified in my battle to remain true to myself despite my outer weakness. I was diagnosed with more serious stuff and while the last one I am still in shock, I will not loss my fighting spirit, I will still be me.  The sports fan who loves writing poetry, reading a mystery, going to historical sites and listening to music.  My hope for each of us is that in the new year whatever it may hold that we are remain true to ourselves. Wishing all the very best in 2011.
