a new year to come...
"The crowning characteristic of love is always loyalty." I recently reread this intriguing line in a beautiful book my dear husband gave to me for Christmas. It sets a high standard for me. It's too easy sometimes to take for granted the ones I love; to forget to cherish the hearts I have been given in trust. Like Anne Shirley, I am grateful for each new day I get to start fresh, with no mistakes in it yet! And even more so tonight, I appreciate the clean slate of a whole new year, in which I will lay aside old habits of selfish pride and adopt in their place the joy of a heart warm with peace, and truer love. Thank Heaven for next year!
