Happy New Year!

Another year is gone and another year is starting. Can you look back over the last year and conclude that you spent your time in a worthwhile manner? If you can’t, now is the time to plan your new year. I will be so bold as to offer suggestions:


TELL the people you love that you love them. You think they know but make sure they know.


Take the time to explain something to a child. The key here is take the time, we are all busy but childhood is short. Don’t miss it.


Do something that may help someone else. Do it without looking for a reward of any type. Just do it!


Make family your top priority! If we all take care of our own, then they won’t be dependent on the charity of others which may not exist.


Practice tolerance, whether you recognize your own prejudices or not, be tolerant of others. Instead of emulating the demagogues who rant and rave on TV and radio, have pity on them for their narrow point of view.


Have enough sense to know that advice unasked for will probably be ignored.


I suspect that will be the result of this post, but one can always hope for a better new year.


Have a wonderful, happy and blessed New Year!
