New Year Equals New Blog.

I've always been the type to set a resolution on any day of the year...it definitely doesn't have to be the first of the year in order to have a goal or make a promise to yourself. However, it is fun for people to have a fresh start and a new perspective as we get out our new calendars and think about what things the new year might have to offer. When sizing up a year that has gone by, it's easy to focus on the positive things and the negative things...but the truth is that every year might have its ups and downs. The power and beauty of a new year means moving forward and carrying the things you have learned from previous years with you so that you'll be armed and ready. Stay strong and stay true to yourself and others. Each year I think I am going to "floss more"...so please hold me to that and remind me, haha. The biggest part of all my years has always been family, friends, and pets...and for the past few years I've had my loving husband to share an incredible life with. Hoping for many, many more years with him. No one can ever take away your memories...And there are so many new memories and adventures to make. Don't waste a perfectly good year by getting in a rut or repeating the same year that you just had...make a vow to get even closer to the people that you love. Set a goal to take care of yourself as well as the ones around you that need you and count on you. Give a part of yourself to a good cause that helps you reflect on just how fortunate you really are. I know that things are more easily said than done, but this year and every year, we can make our words our reality. We have many blessings to be thankful for...and a new year is one of them.
