....and a hope filled New Year

Happy New Year everyone. It's a day of new beginnings, making resolutions, looking back on what was and looking forward to what's to come. It's a great time of year we feel we have another chance to do or be what we have wanted but couldn't follow through. We can succeed through focus and action, we know that by now. I don't normally through out a challenge but today I am. Many times we forget that we are given a new 24 hours each day and that many times we waste what is given to us. Let's take each day this year and make it a new years day. The Nickelback song "If Today Was Your Last Day" opening lines describe how we should look at the start of every day: My best friend gave me the best advice He said, "Each day's a gift and not a given right. Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind And try to take the path less traveled by. That first step you take is the longest stride." Just think about what we can accomplish if we take this next year and treat everyday as New Years Day. That's the challenge, let's do it and see how are life has changed for the better when we reach January 1st 2019. Wishing you all the success in 2018 and don't forget your resolution for 2018 - to be a little bit better each and every day.

The Old Year has gone. Let the dead past bury its own dead. The New Year has taken possession of the clock of time. All hail the duties and possibilities of the coming twelve months! – Edward Payson Powell
