For me, a year comprises 365 vessels of time that sit on a shelf in our mind. A collection of vessels that we grow year after year. Vessels that we can fill with anything we please...our heart’s desire.
At the end of the year, we get to look back at the collection of those days and see a perfect reflection of what’s important in our lives. What filled our days?
I hope as you look back over this past year you find rows and rows of vessels filled with love, laughter, family, friendship, dreams, hopes, and lessons. A collection of days that will forever grace your memory.
And, if, as we look back over the past 365 days, we are not completely satisfied with its content, may we recognize that we have been blessed with another 365 opportunities to “get it right”. The perfect "do over". Isn’t life a wonderful ride?
I hope tonight finds each of you surrounded by those you love. With a head filled with warm memories of the past year, and a heart full of dreams for 2010!

P.S. This made sense to me as I was writing. But, if you are reading and scratching your head in confusion, be kind and remember that the author, at least for tonight, is on some pretty strong pain meds. I hope the sentiment didn't get lost in the delivery. : -)

I got it, LaurieAnna! : ) I look at it the same way ~ kind of like a new, fresh, blank piece of paper. Have a Happy New Year!
Beautifully stated. Happy New Year to you and yours. Tracy
I get it (but i am on pain meds too!!) I think your sentiment is beautiful. I am praying for you, I hope you recover amazingly well & are back at your store where I know you thrive and are such a blessing to so many people (like me). May the vessels on the shelf of 2010 be filled with wonderful things for you. God BLess.
Have a wonderful New Year and a speedy recovery!!!
Very well said...love the image. Hope you are feeling better every day.
Happy 2010 to you and yours,

Pass me a couple of those pain meds and I bet I understand it even better. Just Kidding! I got it perfectly. It has been a unique year full of ups and downs for me, but not a one of the 365 would I change. They brought me to where I am now...one happy contented chubby lady! Blessings and Happy New Year's eve to you. I have a feeling 2010 is going to be a landmark year!
