Some spend the final hours of 2019 flinging the experiences of the year to the wind; pain, loss, heartbreak visited and left holes in their lives.
We can't blame them for putting it all behind.
Some sit with happy hearts relishing successes; love, graduation, birth, marriage, healing...peace.
None are fully untouched by the passage of days. All wait for time to slip into another decade.
Some step forward with determined hearts;
Goals mapped for the months ahead, teetering on the hope of strength, health, success and grace.
Some stare in disappointment, disbelief and despair at choices poorly executed and drown the voices with whatever will mask the truth.
Every person breathing shares one thing in common; choice lay ripe at our feet.
Low, high, rich, poor, strong weak.... one thing remains sure.
The year played out as it would and the morrow awaits just as sure as the sun will rise on both good and evil.
