appy New Year!
Can you believe we’re nearly through the first week of the new year?
Did you make new year’s resolutions? I don’t really make them so much any more…because I know I’ll break them.
I’ll start out strong and motivated as we all do…
“I’m going to get in shape for real.”
“I’m going to the gym every day.”
Tonight we ring out another year past. We sweetly remember the beautiful things and say “good riddance” to the painful junk.
We resolve to do better, look better, eat better. To get organized and finally get fit. All noble resolutions that most of us won’t keep…again. 😉
BUT we have hope always hope. God promises us a future and a hope and I encourage you to start the new year when the click ticks twelve, with an attitude of positivity: about yourself.
You are good. You are worthy. You deserve wonder and beauty and comfort.
Be expectant in 2016. Expect wonderful things. Look for ways you can make things wonderful for others.
Be blessed and safe tonight in whatever you do, whether it’s a grand gala or a peaceful ringing in at home in the arms of the one you love.
Unwrap the gift of hope that your future promises.
Be Expectant!
What if we made New Year’s resolutions that really stuck? What if we used every year as a learning experience? A launching pad into the new year, armed with all this valuable knowledge with which to make the upcoming year so much better?
With the transition into every new year comes a time of reflection. We look back on the year before. Sometimes we bid it good riddance. Sometimes we’re sad to see it go. Other times, we look back with a sense of satisfaction and an attitude that it was a solid year, had its ups and downs (but thankfully more ups), and we came away with some good thoughts and lessons learned, stronger and ready to embrace the new year.
