Merry Christmas 2010


Well, folks, it's that time of year again. I am shutting down till January 2nd. So that's it for 2010. Your comments will be displayed here as usual but there will be a few days without any new postings. I need to just soak in the time with family.
And, there's no chance I'm quittin' on ya. I hope I can shoot and post photos for the rest of my life ... but a rest is good for the mind too. I want to thank you all for your kind wishes at this season. I hope you have a blessed Christmas with your families. May God bless you with His mercy and grace. Wise men still seek Him today.
Catch you in a few days.

Stephen,

Quando chega a noite, repousamos nossa cabeça e fazemos um balanço do que foi nosso dia. No fim do mês fazemos balanço das nossas contas...e quando o ano se finda, costumamos refletir sobre o que foi nosso ano.

Fechamos pra balanço.

Começamos a puxar pela memória para trazer à tona tudo o que nos aconteceu nesse último ano.

Talvez tenhamos passado por momentos difíceis, dolorosos mesmo onde, muitas vezes chegamos a nos perguntar sobre o sentido de nossa vida. Mas o passar dos dias acabou amenizando esse sentimento. Porque o tempo, se passa rápido ou lentamente, ameniza todas as coisas. E é curioso como, mesmo revivendo na memória, as coisas já não fazem mal como antes... naquele momento de dor, tínhamos a certeza absoluta que isso jamais passaria.

Sofremos perdas irreparáveis, dessas que não é possivel voltar atrás, por mais que tentemos. Mas ganhamos em experiência.

E, entrelaçados a esses momentos de tristezas, houveram as alegrias. Desses momentos em que desejamos que o relógio do tempo pare. Uma onda de emoção nos invade ainda, um sorriso aflora e temos a impressão que nosso rosto se ilumina... é importante trazer esses momentos sempre vivos para que nos ajudem quando a maré estiver baixa.

E nesse mar da vida, onde nadamos e fomos levados, chegamos, finalmente, ao porto do próximo ano. Sobrevivemos e, malas prontas e cheias de experiências, nos preparamos para uma nova embarcação. Talvez nova direção.

Mas, olhando o que passou, nessa contabilidade de momentos vividos, pesando os prós e os contras, chegamos à conclusão que o saldo final é positivo. Todos os que chegamos até aqui temos saldo final positivo, mesmo se durante o ano as coisas negativas tentaram nos afetar. Se não fosse assim, não teríamos chegado até aqui.

E vamos começar o novo ano com um grande presente desse Deus Pai que esteve conosco durante todo esse ano: uma nova oportunidade!

Temos nas mãos a chance de recomeçar, reconstruir. Nem todos tiveram, mas a nós está sendo dada essa ocasião. Somos privilegiados. E nesse novo ano, mesmo se não podemos ser pessoas novas, podemos nos sentir pessoas renovadas, fortes o bastante para sobreviver às provações, fortes o bastante para conquistar novas vitórias.

Letícia Thompson.


...Um lindo 2011 à você!...

Gislene.
