Out with the Old In With The New!

“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” –Maria Robinson

The Year is almost over, we cannot begin it again, but we can end it the way we want! The most wonderful thing that we have now is another chance to start all over, a new year that we can make things right, a new year that we can turn the mistakes that we made in the past into stepping stone rather than the stumbling block that they once had been!

It can be sad at times to say goodbye to the sun that sets on a wonderful day, a wonderful year.  Often times we can sit back and think of all that occurred throughout the year and if it was a tough year, we can be thankful that it has now come to an end and if it was a wonderful year, we can plan to make the next even greater than the one before.

I don’t know about you, but this year went by faster than any other, as we have drawn near Christmas, I couldn’t help but feel that I had just celebrated Christmas just a short time before! I am thankful for so much, I was able to be near most of my immediate family this past year more than any year before.  I was able to have a place to work and a warm house to live in, and dear friends who have been a tremendous help.  I began this blog which I have enjoyed and with it made a great many new friends.  I have learned so much and have come to know even more of what I still don;t know but need to learn.

I feel that I am now ready to let go of the past and latch on to the future!  It is a great feeling that all things can now once again become new and I can start all over again!  What a liberation that I am not confined to my meager past, but that there is a bright and promising future to look forward to despite the current economic climate!  I refuse to be a victim of circumstance but rather insist on being a force to be reckoned with!  I am a new being!  How about you?
