2011

What can I say about 2011?  What adjectives can I use?  All I can say is that for me this year has had serious lows with a few wonderful highs sprinkled in.  Lows that have left scars and highs that seek to heal them.  In truth, this may have been one of THE worst years of my life but in the end I'd like to believe it has served a purpose. 

It has forced me to remember what is most valuable to me.  Life, love and peace of mind through real inner freedom.  Three things that were both stolen and retaken in this very same year.  Three things that seek a new set of wings to prosper and soar with the passion they deserve.  To see my sons grow in strength and grace.  To experience love in the most beautiful of ways with those that find real value in me.  To bleed the art of verse with anguish...and joy as well.  Most of all though, to see my Lord smile at me again.

I look for this in 2012.  More than this...I will go to make sure I have them.  What ship will have me?  I'm about to find out...
