It seems everyone posted reflections of the past year, so I thought even if but for my own self-awareness, I would post my thoughts on my last twelve months of existence. I've always been one to live, learn and grow from life experience, no matter how close it came to killing me, and it's made me a strong woman for having done so. I didn't believe that until this past year. To my beloved friends who have stood beside me through all my many years of frustrations and impatience and to those of you whom I have come to love and respect in this passing year. I finally see all the beauty that you've all seen shine in my eyes throughout time. Infinite gratitude and love radiate from my heart to all of you...
I live and breathe the air of change now
No longer fear the pain of loss
Embrace the newness that surrounds me
No longer hang upon a cross.
I felt emotions once subsided
Made my presence known about
Searched myself longer than a decade
Have now burned and burried all the doubt.
A stronger woman now lies before you
With open arms and steady feet
I've brought myself to much awareness
No longer accept grief and defeat.
I've given back all I can
It's my turn now to take a stand
My life is mine now and I'm living free
No more demands I live for me.
Many changes for best
In 12 months time I've laid to rest
Insecurity and distress
Move forward now and embrace the tests.
I live and breathe the air of change now
Rest my soul when I lay my head
Kept my passion and my fight
With confident wings I now take my flight.
...Brightest blessings in 2006 to all of you who are close to my heart.
