“The Year in Review” always brings interesting insights into our culture.  Pictures capture events and enable us to freeze expressions for further reflection.  People who have made a contribution to society (either positive or negative) are set apart and remembered.  Time Magazine named Vladimirovich Putin as 2007’s Person of the Year.

Each of us has had moments in our lives that have left their mark on our own story.

What about “The Year in Advance?”  If we could predict life’s outcome at this time next year, what would be that view?  If we could envision what we want life to look like next week or next month, we could post that as inspiration.  It would be something to prod us toward our goal.  It could be a visual reminder of plans for growth.

What does 2008 look like for you?  May it be a year of hope, greater understanding into the plight of others, and compassion for all.
