Forward

I would like to say that today was a day spent planning for and marching forward into 2014.  It wasn't....it was more of a rest and gain strength for that march.  We relaxed from all the busyness of our holidays and planned (Alex and I, at least) for possible return to the routine tomorrow.

But....as I have been pondering what the weather will hold for tomorrow...will there be school....or will I have an extra day....I have also been pondering the new year.  I have been preparing myself for things known and unknown which may come my way.  I have been summoning up strength and thinking of all the blessings this year has brought.

It made me think of a song...and I almost tried to start a little photo project with it...but knew I just wouldn't have enough time...but I will post it below so that you can listen...and maybe it will inspire you as it inspires me.  I am ready to walk forward into 2014.....even if that means driving through some snow tomorrow...because I know that what is always the most important in life...are those people who we are connected to...and who make this life worth living.

"This Is The New Year"

Another year you made a promise

Another chance to turn it all around

And do not save this for tomorrow

Embrace the past and you can live for now

And I will give the world to you

Speak louder than the words before you

And give them meaning no one else has found

The role we play is so important

We are the voices of the underground

And I would give the world to you

Say everything you've always wanted

Be not afraid of who you really are

Cause in the end we have each other

And that's at least one thing worth living for

And I would give the world to you

A million suns that shine upon me

A million eyes you are the brightest blue

Lets tear the walls down that divide us

And build a statue strong enough for two

I pass it back to you

And I will wait for you,

Cause I would give the world

And I would give the world

And I would give the world to you

This is the new year

A new beginning

You made a promise

You are the brightest

We are the voices

This is the new year

We are the voices

This is the new year

A new beginning

You made a promise

We are the voices

This is the new year
