Taking Control.

The bright beautiful morning and early afternoon bring renewed hope and determination. The strength I find in myself and my husband make the future look like yet another exciting adventure.

It is okay not to know what is to come. It is okay to revel in the moment and each other. I will celebrate the holidays and know that 2010 will bring the good and the bad, but always something new and ultimately positive.

Finally, we take control of our own destinies. We offer joy and in turn we make our own joy. It is never in the wallowing. It is all in the doing. Through sheer force of will we look to the new days with optimism and wonder.
