is expected of us. When we choose to change, the knock-on effects ripple
outwards through the lives of those closest to us - sometimes that's the
hardest thing to bear.
But who wants to sit in a stagnant pond when the moving river could carry
us to the sea and beyond, into the horizons of the New Year?
As the sun sets on the old year and the colours of it spread across the
skies - raw reds that bleed into the golden hues of hope - I am grateful
for all the yesterdays that laid the foundations of my tomorrows. I am
grateful to who I have been. It shapes who
I am now.
In the words of Maya Angelou:
The horizon leans forward,
Offering you space
To place new steps of change
Here on the pulse of this fine day.
If I have a wish for you it is this: the courage to step boldly into your lives and to dare to be different. Happy 2002. Love, Cate.
