I know two special boys one 11 and the other 7 who could use your writing letters especially to the present (old)year that is moving on, maybe even much more important than to the new year....just to see what they are really focusing their attentions on......I think this may come in quite handy in a few years when they can go back and read where their lives had been the last few years...and maybe what directions they need in the upcoming teen years.....!

Time flies and we barely realize it. <br /><br />I am glad that you are still running this blog. As I said months ago, it would be a huge pity if you gave it up. I guess it doesn't matter if you know what you are doing or where you are going with this blog. Sometimes it is not the destination that is important but the journey. It is how you travel, how you conduct yourself every step of the way that matters. From your examples, you become a beacon of light for others to follow. This is how I see your blog.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing your chosen word for 2012. I realized what mine is when I read this article haha!<br /><br />Irving the VizierThe Vizierhttp://hanofharmony.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-30599596110782295652011-12-27T20:39:41.866-08:002011-12-27T20:39:41.866-08:00Hi Galen!

I love that! <br /><br />As for your blog, have you ever thought about buying your own domain name? Then you can get rid of the (dot)blogspot part of your domain name. Anyway, just a thought. <br /><br />I love your writing and love your passion and love your insight.
