New Year

Taken from "As Bill Sees It"


"A new year: 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8,760 hours, 525,600 minutes - all a time to consider directions, goals and actions. I must make plans to live a normal life (I resolve to) but I must also live emotionally within a twenty-four hour frame."  

I don't have to make a New Year's resolution - I can resolve each day to live with honesty, love openly, err regularly then grow from that.

I'll share a cup of kindness yet to days of new lang syne

Next Chapter

"Should old acquaintance be forgot..."  Before we start signing that let's think about what we don't want to forget what we should and what to remember or carry into a new year.

Let's forget or regrets, our errors our lack of affirming thoughts.
Let's remember our good comments, the things and people who helped us live more fully
Let's carry into a new year those UP moments and build on them.

In a few days many people will make resolutions. I'll talk about that later but for NOW let's talk about our own promises. To live with hope, joy and care for all.

Let's make our NEXT chapter our new BEST chapter of life

Remember

Some things are worth forgetting, some worth remembering. Your worth is worth remembering.

Think of all that YOU'VE been through, how far you've come and know your journey like mine is always moving. It's amazing right? Remember that

Short List

Christmas or this overall season is about what matters. Ideally we'd all be kind, caring and sharing everyday. This year as has been what my past few years have been I hold family both of choice and blood to be near and dear.

This is my Short List "To continue to affirm all that's good always"

Love Is...

No doubt you've seen that tiny cartoon called "Love is" Well this ain't it!

Love isn't about two too cute little people and quaint sayings. Sure they're cute yet static

Love is a verb (re: action word) and not static.

We gotta act love to have love. Be caring by showing. Yes of course those small things like the cartoon offers while still being the big thing.

It sure is nice to say and hear "I love you" Goodness knows I say it often.  It's also in the showing of the act of caring, respect, honor, accepting that love happens

Let's make Love Happen

Believe

In any project the important factor is your belief. Without belief, there can be no successful outcome.

I know I believe in YOU

This is about YOU

Eleanor Rooselvelt  said it best "

“Do one thing every day that scares you.”

Try it and you may be surprised at just what you CAN do.  I believe you can.

Perhaps it's our beliefs in our past that keep us (me) from doing what scares us. 

Know that I believe you can

No Mistakes? RIGHT!!!

We all make mistakes, Goodness knows I've had my share and I won't share them here or do my best to repeat them.

There were some doozies  though!!  What I have learned is that by making a mistake I have learned from it/them and wont let them rule my future

Let's let our past be our past and leave it there.

Wrap Your Arms

Hug, Abrazom, étreinte, объятие,umarmung,mangapit

Call them what you will hugs are healing. The contact of intimacy without expectation can be comforting. Even dogs and other primates do it.

Feeling down? A hug from someone induces an "ahh" response

Go ahead offer a hug today. How about a couple of them?
