oh hi new year....sorry i am late

C. S. Lewis said, "To love at all is to be vulnerable."i want to be more honest this year. i want to be more real. i want to see more things for what they are and how they can be. i want to see beyond the present but live in the moment. i want to keep walking into the dark with my arms outstretched to the light hand ahead of me. i want to keep on running. i want to fly, because this little bird was given wings; and i want to drink more coffee and have more conversations that acknowledge the realities of life, it sucks sometimes but God is good and true and honest and good.i want to forgive quicker and laugh longer (the cheese in that sentence is not lost on me) and i want to never forget that, for some reason, i have a crazy expanding family who provide me with more love that i thought was possible.the past few years my life has turned upside-down and i expect nothing different from 2015. even if i am a bit late on the uptake.R.
