Christina Williams, a fellow AR member from Crossville, TN passed away last night.
Just a few short weeks ago at the beginning of 2009 she posted the following poem. I thought it would be fitting to reblog in her memory.
We should all remember to live life to the fullest, to tell our loved ones what they mean to us, to laugh, and to take the time to care for one another. Life is far too short to do otherwise.

LIFE I AM THE NEW YEAR
Life I am the new year.
I am an unspoiled page in your book of time.
I am your next chance at the art of living.
I am your opportunity to practice what you have learned about life during the last twelve months.
All that you sought and didn't find is hidden in me,
waiting for you to search it out with more determination.
All the good that you tried for and didn't achieve
is mine to grant when you have fewer conflicting desires.
All that you dreamed but didn't dare to do, all that you hoped but did not will,
all the faith that you claimed but did not have --
these slumber lightly, waiting to be awakened
by the touch of a strong purpose.
I am your opportunity
to renew your allegiance to Him who said, "behold, I make all things new."
I am the new year.
