Hello/Good-Bye
Ah yes here we are again, the beginning of a new year. Yet it all feels the same. We start off filled with hope and aspirations, we look forward to a year not like the one that just passed. However, by the time December 31st rolls around again, if we are fortunate enough to be here, we will likely reflect upon what we want for the upcoming year and how glad we are to see the current one go.
Maybe we put too much stress on what is to come, in spite of the fact we have no idea what is ahead. Tallulah Bankhead once said,” If I had my life to live over again, I would make the same mistakes, only sooner”. Interesting thought as we reflect on regrets and triumphs. What will you do with this year? As we take these strides forward at ever increasing speeds, in a hurry for this date to pass, this milestone to arrive, we should bear in mind we are pressing time to pass for us, ultimately taking us to the place we will no longer be.
Slow down, admire, absorb; try your best to live each day as it is meant to be lived, one day at a time.

You certainly have given me something to think about! I’m happy to see you that you are writing! Now I will sit back and reflect upon your words. XO
You said it one day at a time!
Amen!
