New Year 2022

Well, here we go again. A new year has started and we have the chance to make some new decisions with regard to our lives. No, I am not talking about New Year’s resolutions, those things we make and discard in short order. I mean really examining our lives and what direction we are headed.

Do we look forward to making changes in our lives, or are we hesitant? This is the time to carefully consider the way we will live our lives this year. Let the past stay in the past and look forward to each new day we are given this year. Look for the positives in our lives and be grateful for the family and friends that we are blessed with.

Let’s make a conscious effort to notice the good we see around us and be part of it. It’s time to be a little kinder, less angry and more loving. It’s time to make time to be more helpful and generous to those in need, whether family members or strangers. Kindness can be contagious, and right now it is the type of contagion we need. Covid has made so many feel isolated, depressed and alone. Time to flip that scenario and as the old saying goes, “reach out and touch somebody.” Making others feel good inversely benefits us.

Finally, I would like to wish everyone a safe and Happy New Year, one full of new experiences and wonderful new memories. It is within our power to make this year one of our best ever if only we set our minds to it. Let’s look forward with anticipation and love and we will be rewarded for our efforts. Happy 2022!
