quarternotes

Some farewell's are not that simple. So how should I say goodbye to year 2012?

Although there are still a couple of days before the new year, it may be best to start evaluating the past year. Last week, on the last day of work at the office, we had this mini-Christmas recollection. The theme revolved around the concept of the Examen of St. Ignatius of Loyola. We just had to reflect on three questions: What are you grateful for? What are you sorry about? What would you like to pray for? Since we were given only a few minutes to 'recollect' our 2012 thoughts and envision 2013, I am committing myself every night until the 31st to reflect on my year-long Examen. It's time to take a glance at the rear mirror and look at the road ahead.
