Here's to the end of 2008. It's been an interesting year, healing in many ways, I think.

I hope my knee is healed enough that I can run again, that remains to be seen, but the Dr. says I can begin a walking program. I'm reading ChiWalking now.

We have a new minister at church, which means I have a new boss. I really adore her, and I think a good year is ahead in both my professional and spiritual lives.
