2009 is nearing a close. As I told a friend of mine, Christmas this year wasn't Christmas, it's thanksgiving. I want to take a few moments with this blog to do just that:
1) To all those who interceded, prayed for, took my name to the Heavens, when I was so sick....When I needed a family, you were there.
2) To all the nurses and doctors who gave their all to make sure I was on the mend....
3) To all who came to visit me while I was in the Hospital, loved on me, encouraged me....
4) To all those who interceded, prayed for, took my niece and my family's names to the Heavens, when we all were heart broken with her diagnosis....
5) To all those who let me vent, cry, express my frustration, my fear, my anxiety....
6) To all those who gave me the opportunity to sing, share my heart, and teach....I'm thinking of the Relay for Life, The Salvation Army, the Benefits....
7) To all those who helped me musically....I think of putting to music "A Piece of You Alive In Me" ..... a song I wrote for my late friend, Sandie Martin. I also am thinking of the latest song "Warring Heart (Baby's A Fighter)".... thanks Derek :)
8) To those who have been there as a listening ear...not always giving the pat answer... we all need to have friends like that....
9) To those who I've met and have become acquainted with over the last few months and weeks.... thank you for understanding...that even if I've been loud and obnoxious....you've allowed me to do that...even though sometimes that loudness and obnoxiousness has been a coverup for the hurt that I have felt...
10) To those who I've met and have become acquainted with over the last few months and weeks.... I hope to be in position when you may need a listening ear, an encouraging word, a sincere heart, a prayer (not a religious one...but a spiritual one....yes, there is a huge difference). I've been praying for you for some time now and I pray that if you need someone to talk to at some point that I will be out and about, sitting at my desk at work, out for a walk, that you feel comfortable enough to come. You don't know how much I've needed your friendship... thanks for letting me share my experience. I hope to write a new chapter in 2010.
Thank you....from my heart.
My prayer is that 2010 be a year that God's blessing be on us all.
I look forward to the next step in the journey.
