Looking Ahead

[leonaashlee]

[SIZE="4"]Friends, this has been a year that we have shared both joy for many and pain for some as well. We have seen births and deaths, beautiful landscapes and wonderful waterscapes. We have seen beautiful trees and flowers and enjoyed each others children and pets and other family members. We have seen loads of new members and seen some of the old ones disappear.
For me it's been a year of ups and downs and but for this site it would have been much harder. If I could say anything to you about the year to come, it would be this.

Meet lots of new people
[/SIZ

Try lots of new things

Soar to new heights (yes, that's me)


But most of all, spend it with those you love....


Note...I did not take these photos...but edited them a little.

I look at your join date--just this Spring. In such a short time, you have become a privotal part of this community bringing with you, as your photos demonstrate, a love of cultural diversity, new experience, a spirit of adventure and, always, always, a love of family and friends. And, lucky me, I get to do lunch with you! Let's do that soon. I toast this new year and pray that you will be blessed in the same way that you have been a blessing.

Hi Leona. What a great thread you have posted. I think you have hit the proverbial nail on the head with what you wrote for each photo. Thanks for that! Have a great New Year's Eve, and all the best in the upcoming year, Leona.

Linda, as always you write the loveliest comments...you have me blushing. Thank you so much...and I'm on for lunch anytime. When your comment started and you mentioned my start date...I thought you were going to mention how much I talk....lol I noticed that I missed my 7000th post...Instead you have such kind things to say.
