It is the dawning of another new year. A fresh, clean slate is before us. It reminds me of the joy it brings me to start a new journal or calender.
The road ahead is unknown to each of us.






What will be around the next bend?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I know not what awaits me

As dawns another year;

The path untrod I cannot see,

Yet knows my heart no fear!

I know not whether long or short

My pilgrimage will be -

But I'll daily praise my God in song

For all His love for me.

With joy I greet the year -

It cannot bring me ill

Since Christ our Lord is ever near,

My soul with peace to fill!"

May you find many blessings on whatever road you travel this coming year!

What a beautiful, beautiful poem! I think I need to add that to my journal. I know what you mean...there is something wonderful about new beginnings, fresh starts, a clean slate...

Blessings to you and your beautiful (growing) family in 2011! Last year, a new grandchild, this year a new son-in-law!
