HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I hope ALL of you have a happy new year...not just a happy new year's day, but truly a good year! I am going to. I think a lot of my happiness comes from my own perspectives and choices. Therefore, I plan ahead to have a good, even great year!

I know there is an ecomonic "repression" going on in our nation right now. I know there is political unrest, still, to some point.
There are wars going on in the world. There is still a lot of crime, pain, and anguish daily in every culture of this world.

BUT I STILL WISH YOU A HAPPY YEAR! Why? Because I still believe...
I believe in humanity. I believe that we can make better choices. I believe we can forgive each other. I believe we can hope and act in faith from positive perspectives. I believe we can help each other. I believe we can spread more love than hate no matter if the man who sits in the White House is of our liking or not. We can overcome! We can focus on things other than our individuals comforts and success.

But some of us may need a little help! That is why I believe in more than just humanity. We have proven together, that we can go either way...into the pits of distruction or to the heights of success and caring.

I also believe in God. I believe there is Someone out there who cares and loves ALL of us! Someone who thinks of each of us, individually, fondly and proudly... in spite of our mistakes and poor choices. Someone who does care about our individual successes but sees a bigger picture, and has placed in each of us abilities to rise above obstacles and errors. Together. Each of us has a tiny part in the whole, bigger picture. Each of us is important and special.

I believe that if each of us, individually, believed that we were loved unconditionally, and empowered with abilities to be more than we dared to dream of, that we WOULD make better choices...we would have a better world.

YOU ARE SPECIAL! YOU ARE LOVED! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
