This year certainly was one of the reddest and pinkest years to me. Don't have any New Year's resolutions cause there's no guarantee any of them would happen.

What have you or what haven't you enjoyed about this year? Quote

Oooh what a great thread!

2011 was a really tough year for me, a lot of bad news made it my way.
One of the best decisions I made this year was joining this site...
I've "met" so many amazing people here.

Also, doing well in school has been another positive note ;)

This year was the blackest of mine - but it gave me that nice "wind of change" feeling. So... I cut my hair, did eyebrow piercing, came back to site and thinking more about life meaning - yeah, those are positive sides!

My Mom just passed away.
It was her time, she was ready.
I cared for her while she was in home hospice.
Performing on web cam facilitated this.
I was able to get to know her better.
It is a great gift that I had that time with her.
I am thankful that I had the chance.

It has been a good year.

Perhaps time is the keeper of distance and loss,
Knowing that we are but able for a little at a time.
And the innocence of fragments is wise with us,
Keeps us from order that is not native to our dust.

Yet, without warning, a life can sudenly chance
On its hidden rhythm, find a flow it never knew.
Where the heart was blind, subtle words rise into view;
Where the mind was forced, crippled thought begins to dance.

As if the day found for her everything she lost.
Her breath infused with harvest she never expected
From the unlived lives she had only touched in dream;
Her mind rests; memory glows in a stairs of twilight.

Her hair kisses the breeze. Her eyes know it is time.
She looks as y0ung as the evening the raven came.
(O'Donohue)

Mine too
'To every thing there is a time'
To every season there is a rhyme.


Time goes on with a relentless pace
Our lives are spent before we erase
Those dark secrets of the mind
Those secrets we want to leave behind.
To the human race, much time is given,
For each to choose by what he's driven.
Yet, each of us has so many days,
We cannot add to this life's maze.
To buy one hour may be our goal,
It's still the truth...
... ...no time is sold.

-----------------------------------------

Once I could catch your eye across the room
And know just what you were thinkin'
And when I held you in my arms, we'd dream as one
But those days are gone, somethin' went wrong
And when I wake up to the mornin' sun I find myself sayin'.

Time, don't run out on me,
don't run out on me,
don't run out on me.
Time, don't run out on me.

Greenest year!!

2011 was very up & down & round & round. I look forward to & welcome 2012 & will take my lessons from 2011 to make sure that I do not repeat anythings that I have learned are not positive. As I have learned "the present is a gift" & "reach for the stars so if you fall you will land on a cloud" (Alicia Keys, Kanye West). I know now how to not unwrap the certain things that appear as a gift but to recognize the real gifts. I also realize that you have to reach high & then you will not fall down on the ground (a fluffy cloud feels much better). I am happy to have returned more frequently to the site (although I know I have been gone for the holidays). Thank you all for staying with me & for all of the love & ..... you share with me.
