The following is a message I post every year around this time. I think it is as relevant today as it was when I originally wrote it 61/2 years ago - when we all were at Daily Strength and PEACE and I was processing walking away from our two adult children and all of their bullshit!
I wanted to send you all a message of hope and renewal to everyone as we approach this New Years Eve's eve.
I think this can be a year where we all finally get our acts together and start a new chapter for building happy, productive lives. This is the year we can walk away from those who would seek to hurt us and walk towards those who would love and respect us. This is the year we can decide what we want our lives to be and even better, how we can live those lives to their fullest potential. This is the year we can discover that we have a right to be happy - knowing that it has been such a long time coming and that finding our peace of mind will have been long overdue.
Discovering, deciding, walking towards, walking away - we can do it all in this new year. We can turn the page and start to live our lives more fully and be happy - maybe THIS is what bringing in a new year can be all about - So let's resolve to use this new year wisely - to make our lives brighter, bolder and most importantly, better!
In her novel, Lost Lake, Sarah Addison Allen said "The hard part was over. Happiness now was inevitable, if she could only just let it happen.”
I know that a healthy, prosperous and especially happy new year is waiting out there. What we need to do is be strong and steadfast and keep a weather eye to watch for it - because it's a comin' - straight to the heart of each and every one of us! And when it does come, all we'll need to do is to know it when we see it, and just let it happen!
I wish you all well
Take Care
