Happy New Year

I woke up early this morning; 2:10 a.m.

Don’t know why.

For some reason I couldn’t get back to sleep. I thought of the upcoming new year and the hope I have for it. I prayed for the change in leadership of our country that this new year will bring.

I reflected a bit on this past year. Didn’t spend much time thinking about it. I simply thanked God for all the many blessings that he had given to myself and family. I thought of friends, those that we have lost this past year and also those whom I have become closer to.

I also for some odd reason thought of new years past. The worst new years was that of 1987 when my dad died. I thought of all the should haves and should nots of our relationship. That took me to New Year’s Eve 1984 when Dad and I had this huge fight and I left home. I spent nearly a week living in my car trying to figure out what was next. It was at that exact moment in my life when I met Susan. Wow, talk about timing!!!

Word of advice, don’t spend too much time looking back.

Instead, pray for the future.

Happy New Year, to all, and to all a good nite.
