For 2009

I am grateful for 2009. 
All that it brought to our happy family.
And all that it is leaving behind...

I am grateful for 2009.
The joys, the laughter and the fun
And the pain and sorrow and ugliness that is being left behind.

I am grateful for 2009.
I am grateful for the love that was given me, the love that I felt
And the love that I gave.

I will give more love in 2010.

Patience.
