reflecting on a year passed.

2011 as unforseen as it was, was thus far the most eye opening year for me. My eyes were literally opened to all the things around me that matter and mean so much. We don't realize until there gone:

here's to friends who can share hearts- no matter their location



here's to God given whimsy that lightens our heaviest days


here's to being and having a good listening ear


here's to FUN in simplicity made with the best of friends


here's to child-like faith


here's to unwarranted surprises turned to blessings


here's to new beginnings unplanned


here's to having a loved one hold you close when you need it most


here's to family: unbreakable bonds


and finally:
here's to God's unfailing grace that allows JOY
