A New Year....2004!
"May your year be filled with greater compassion for others, a deeper sense of tranquility for yourself, and a sense of adventure as you move into unnamed vistas ahead. May a sense of joy permeate your stillness and your actions spring from the depths of wisdom realized. "
That came in a New Year card. :)

I just knew it was right...and anytime doubts or fears started to play up - I would come back to that faith - that center that told me - He and I are meant to be together.

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
From Feels Like Home by Chantel Kreviazuk
Somethin' in your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself, in your arms
There's somethin' in your voice, makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life
If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've been so alone
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
