At the close of a year we have the capability to reflect on the course of our lives over the last year.  It has surely been a year of good and bad. Some are probably very glad to have a new year come, some are sad to see this one go.  Hopefully we can look back and see our own growth.  As I approach a new year, I like to look back and note what it is that I am no longer carrying with me.  What old ideas have I managed to let go of?  What have I  released in thought and experience so that I am more free than I was 12 months ago?  This is how I know that I have lived.  Life is a series of letting go.  Letting go of ideas, beliefs, circumstances, people, stories, and character qualities.  Shedding the coating that I have caked on that can mask my connection to God and to myself.  My prayer for us today is that we acknowledge one thing that we have released over this past year that has brought us closer to ourselves and ultimately to God.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
