I was reading my friend Katie's blog and she posted this poem as a welcome for the New Year. I thought it was so beautiful.. so I'm sharing it so you can enjoy it as we walk this new year... :)
"With mingling hope and trust and fear
I bid thee welcome, untried year;
The paths before me pause to view;
Which shall I shun and which pursue?
I read my fate with serious eye;
I see dear hopes and treasures fly,
Behold thee on thy opening wing
Now grief, now joy, now sorrow bring.
God grant me grace my course to run
With one blest prayer - His will be done."

~ Elizabeth Payson Prentiss, 1842
