The Last Day

.
To me, the last day of the year is much like finishing a chapter in a book (although I tend not to look at it as the last chapter in the book). So, my question to you is; does finishing a chapter make you feel like you can't wait to move into the next one? Or, does it make you want to rejoice what has been, and fear what the next one will bring?

Do you celebrate that the year is over because of your accomplishments, or because of your misfortunes? Do you look forward to the challenges and rewards the future will bring, or would you just rather stay where you are?

I guess there is really no right or no wrong answer to these questions. It is though, your personality. And often, your personality changes as you grow older. Your answers may be different at different stages in your life.

My chapter this year was, in many ways, filled with struggles. But, in many ways, it was filled with accomplishments. While it was a struggle to complete the house, it was also an accomplishment. While it was a struggle to find a way to visit our children, we found that way. While I made poor choices in financial matters, I still managed a profit. And while my Faith was tested, it also was strengthened.

So, I am grateful for this chapter, but I look forward to what the next on will bring. I won't celebrate for what this year was, but for what next year will bring. And, I know that next year will present even more challenges, but I know that there will be even more rewards.

Happy New Year!!
