2006 into 2007 - My Resolution

This is the last day of the year 2006. Good things happened this year: my husband entered remission (!), my daughter got a job in her career field that she really wanted, my work is fulfilling, new friends were made, old friendships were strengthened, and everyone I love is reasonably healthy. Bad things happened too: a dear friend died, my dad had another heart attack, we are living in another difficult country, and various family members are slowly destroying themselves. It was, though, a good year that is ending with a quiet, happy day. Making resolutions is the traditional act for this day. I've never been one for resolutions. But I was inspired by Father Jonathan today. Who is Father Jonathan? He is a Catholic priest who blogs for Fox News (go to www.foxnews.com, scroll down to their "Fox Blogs" and click on Father Jonathan) about the events that are going on in the world around us. I don't always agree with him (most of the time I do) yet always he is inspiring. Today was no different. And I am flat-out stealing his idea with no apologies:
This year I am making a New Year's Eve Resolution for 2007. You are my resolution. This year I will strive to cherish you, love you, forgive you, thank you, ask forgiveness, get to know you, let you know me and remember each and every day how blessed I am that you are in my life.
Happy New Year.
