Before you Bid 2011 Goodbye ...

take a half hour of your time and say farewell to the year we're leaving before you step foot into the year into which we're entering. 

Sometimes we need to clear our heads and our hearts and our minds of the old so we can take what we've learned and walk steadily into the freshness of a new year.

Susannah Conway has an excellent free, printable guide to help say adieu to 2011 and hello 2012. 

I worked through the guide. 

It was wonderful. 

Goodbye, 2011.

Welcome, 2012.

I wish you the happiest New Year, friends. 

"May the Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;

The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. 

Now and forever more, Amen. {Numbers 6:24-26}
