day 366

Day 366 - New Years Eve
Prompt 366 - Our Final Day
My Way
"And now, the end is near;

And so I face the final curtain.

My friend, Ill say it clear,

Ill state my case, of which Im certain.

Ive lived a life thats full.

Ive traveled each and evry highway;

And more, much more than this,

I did it my way.

Regrets, Ive had a few;

But then again, too few to mention.

I did what I had to do

And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;

Each careful step along the byway,

But more, much more than this,I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew

When I bit off more than I could chew.

But through it all, when there was doubt,I ate it up and spit it out.

I faced it all and I stood tall;

And did it my way.

Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried.

Ive had my fill; my share of losing.

And now, as tears subside,I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;And may I say - not in a shy way,

No, oh no not me,I did it my way.

For what is a man, what has he got?

If not himself, then he has naught.

To say the things he truly feels;And not the words of one who kneels.

The record shows I took the blows -And did it my way!"

- Frank Sinatra

May I take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you, for joining me in this incredible journey. It has been tough some days, and I admit not to making it each day, nor did I take only self portraits! But that's life. I still did it "My Way". I hope you had fun. I know many of you have had a really tough year, others have lost family members, and others have gained family members. A shout out to my inspirational slimmers, Kay and Lynne, to all the UK 365ers that I met back in October. To all the new friends I have met on Flickr, it has been a wonderful year for making new friends. I hope you will take the time to look back at your year in review, 52 layouts and a journal full of your words and thoughts for 2008.

I am going to take a few weeks off, and I will be back mid January with a new challenge " A snapshot of my life". This will not be a 365 self portrait challege. Check back over the next few weeks when I will be sharing pages from my journal, my layouts from the year and the preperations for my 2009 challenge.

Have a wonderful New Year, I wish you all a prosperous 2009!

All my Love

Oh what can I say I love the new me that has been uncovered this year, I love that I now like some sp's of me even more, and I love life most of the time. I achieved over half my goals which is 50% more than normal, and I have made some of the most fabulous friends ever. Thankyou to Anna and all you girls for your caring support and friendship long may it continue!
