A New Year's Wish...

Perhaps a bit wiser,
a bit kinder, too,
a little bit braver,
a heart that's more true,
a touch of believing
I've not known before,
in joys I'm receiving
a little bit more.

A little more anxious
to reach out my hand,
despite hurt or problems
to still understand,
accepting the heartache
that life often brings,
a little more beauty
in life's simple things.

A prayer when I'm weary
as onward I trod,
a little more trusting,
believing in God,
'tis this I would wish for
within moments dear,
not a lot - just a little
this wondrous new year.

As promised way back in December, a new look for the blog. I've had the new background up for a couple of days and finally got the new title/header up this afternoon. Thanks for stopping by and checking out what exciting (or boring) things have been going on in our lives. This started as just a fun way to document different things that went on in our first year of marriage and keep our family up to date. Now, as we move into 2009 and beyond, we invite you back to see what we have in store "Through the Years".
