Welcome 2009!

Here we are...the first day of 2009. Resolutions have been made...hopefully promises will be kept. I've written a list of goals. The most important one, I feel, is the last one written. Which is "love first". Always...as we are taught to do...we should love others as God loves us. If we love first the other harmful emotions that can stem from any relationship (whether it be w/ a personal loved one or stranger on the street) can disintegrate. And w/ that in mind, my determination is to not be petty...to not be hurt easily...to not be snide, jealous, boastful, greedy, sarcastic. To love.
