Set and Rise

Reflections of two thousand nine,
will forever set in my mind,
of all the times we shared,
without you I would see blind

Together we will rise with the new year,
and give each other reason to smile,
I lift my glass and toast,
"may we always go the extra mile"

"Happy New Year"

Mathews 5:41:
And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two

Yes, wonderfully expressed. "May we always go the extra mile" I am with you and Jesus on this one as it says Mathews 5:41. "And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two." Let's us go the exyra mile my friend in 2010. Amen!

What a lovely poem to end 2009, I have been dabbling in thoughts of what to write for the new Year. I love this poem, it is so inspiring and encouraging. May you have a blessed New Year, and may the love and light from the Universe fill your life every moment.
I wish I could spend New Years with my spirit sister this year. Perhaps next year we will have to make a plan. I am so grateful to have you in my life, and I know that 2010 is going to be so much better than 2009!
xo and warm hugs to you and your beautiful family,
