No matter if the way is rocky or slippery with moss
life goes on.
We must keep climbing, moving forward.
Some days are rough and then out of the rocky way
a flower blooms.
The blush of a new bloom leads the way.
It shares the beauty just in front of us.
I have been rather quiet this week, contemplating the end of the year
and the beginning of a new one.
By now some thought for the future year would have formulated in my mind.
For some reason this has been slow in coming.
I wrote not long ago about being open to the new year,
but I just couldn't be open.
Just the word scared me.
But I have been paying attention
and finally it came.
My word for 2019 will be Trust.
Yikes!
Trust reminds me of a free fall.
I know it has something to teach me.
So I will be open to Trust and learn as the year goes along.
Happy New Year, dear friends!
Now there is one more Monday in 2018
and a tea quote will be here for one more time.
Trust is a big commitment for a word. I wish you well with it, given the world situation and all life brings. But it is a fabulous word, too. All good wishes.
ReplyDeleteHere's to your year of Trust! May it hold you safely in its arms.
ReplyDeleteI put my Trust in the Lord we will all be blessed with a fabulous New Year and may every blessing be ours.
ReplyDeleteA perfect word going forward into a brand new year with brand new beginnings.
Love Jeanne
Happy New Year, Marilyn. I don't have a word for the new year yet. My sweetheart and I decided to have a word together and it hasn't come to us yet. Keep trusting, dear friend, and you will fine.
