Good-bye 2008

Its the last day of 2008. It seems the time for deep thoughts. This has been a year for deep thoughts. Illness, recovery. Cancer, death. Shocking news and a painful walk with a friend. But there has been joy and laughter too. Hilarious adventures with a pram, a baby and IV carts. Gentle memories at a funeral. The joy of seeing a grandchild who lives far away three times in one year. And talking to him. To borrow a phrase from Disney, "The circle of life." Its goes on and on and what we need to do is to live each moment safe and secure knowing that our Lord guards and guides through the journey. Laughter or tears, we live.
