Getting ready for a New Year....

(Photography - Gregory Colbet. Text (excerpts) 'The Principle of Emptiness' - Joseph Newton)

















As I reflect on the year that was and prepare myself for the coming New Year - I pray that I will know what to hold onto and what to release; What to pass on and what to embrace.

May my heart be open to His word, His leadings, His will and His plan for my future.

Mary, You said this so beautifully! I will be back soon, but now I need to go rearrange my thinking and my attitude.

Mary, this is an awesome post, I like it a lot. We do tend to hang on to things rather than share. I usually clean out the house and donate to Goodwill. We need to turn more to God and his wisdom more often and trust in him. May you have a very Happy New Year. I would like to add I liked your pictures, nice touch.
