The New Year is just around the corner and we have so many things to do before that...... but I see it as time running out before we make any decisions.

Today I will walk with God and ask so many questions and get nothing but silence as I walk along the ocean waters to see the waves crash along the shore.

I dream about walking alone and not finding one thing to be thankful for till I notice the beautiful Xmas lights still lit and think about how to change my life and just move forward.

I think about all the things I need to change to make life better for the future..
