After watching the year in review on several TV channels, I can’t help but think it’s been a crappy year for the world. Lately, natural disasters, mass shootings and political turmoil are normal, but this year it seemed even more extreme. I had several people tell me the past few weeks that it’s been a rough year, for some their worst, and they are waiting to begin anew in 2019. It has nothing to do with the economy, since that is thriving. Just personal unrelated hardships and frustrations in today’s fast paced life. I feel we need to slow down, tolerate others, think before acting, be calm and be nice to one another.
For me, I’ve had challenges, setbacks and hurdles to overcome. But I’ve also had some amazing adventures, experiences and personal growth. I’m putting 2018 behind me, remembering the good times and letting go of the rest.
I’m starting fresh and positive, aiming for the betterment of our communities, society, America and our planet. Let’s help each other in this sometimes complicated nation. Put down our phones, and think twice about constantly checking social media. Take moments to enjoy the natural landscape and gatherings with family and friends. Consider what’s important in life and pursue that, because at the end of the day it is what really matters. Together let’s make 2019 the best year ever.
“Be always at war with your vices,
at peace with your neighbors and
let each new year find you a better person.
Happy New Year”
Let’s give a warm welcome to the year that starts a new, appreciate each moment that the year shall behold, so let’s come together and celebrate a wonderful start to the New Year. Happy New Year.
And always find a reason to laugh. It may not add years to your life, but it will surely add life to your years.
