a brand new year's unfoldin.. and look at all we've left behind.. memories, happines n sadness, silly arguements, disappointments, surprises and experiences.2004's been good... filled with many ups and just as many downs.here's hoping 2005 will be much better. to all the loves of my life...who've always occupied my heart...i wish for you..happiness that overwhelmes u...peace that satisfies you and a safe n healthy year ahead. may the joy u bring into my life be quadrupled into yours.

thank u 2004...
* i'm a working gal! a teacher by no simple means... a special person in a young child's eyes... a person for them to irritate to no end and to bestow never ending kisses to lower tempers that THEY themselves have caused to soar;p
*i've learnt so much...and experienced so much..
*the most special people in my life have held on to me and encouraged me and supported me thru all the agonizing months..and i'm so sure they'l just continue to be there for the months to come
*i've felt the simple joy that comes from realising that i've got it in me to reach for my dreams
*i've added beautiful souls into my life...people who make me think... why didnt i know them before now!
*i've contemplated over so many tragedies that the year brought... and learnt to be grateful for what i have..no matter how much or little.

for all the people suffering...in pain and fear...i hope your pain ceases just a little... i hope your fear recedes for awhile... i hope lost loved ones will be found... i hope for miracles....

have a great year ppl!

love, Grace

~Wake the neighbors, get the word out Come on... crank up the music... climb a mountain and shout This is life we've been given made to be lived outSo la la la la live out loud Live out loud, yeah Think about this... try to keep a bird from singing After it's soared up in the skyGive the sun a cloudless day and tell it not to shine Now think about this... if we really have been given The gift of a life that will never endAnd if we have been filled with living hope we're gonna overflowAnd if God's love is burning in our hearts we're gonna glow There's just no way to keep it in~
