Happy 2016!!

Happy New Year!!  I hope you all were happy and safe ringing in the new year.  Can you believe it's already 2016?!  Blows my mind a bit, especially thinking about 2 of my cousins who both turned the big 5-0 yesterday and today.  How is that possible?  I remember celebrating both of their birthdays together every year growing up.  I miss those days.

But alas, a new year is upon us and that means we all have a clean slate...again.  Isn't that how we all feel...for the first few days of the new year?  Turn the page on the old and usher in the new.  We all start off the year with great hopes and aspirations of what is possible and what we can accomplish in the new year.  And then the months go by and life beats us down a little, and we forget the feeling of 'anything is possible.'  It's like the start of a new season for your favorite sports team.  Opening day...you have high hopes for a great season and then the weeks go by and somehow you end up dead last in your division (yes, you Cowboys)...what happened to the promising outlook?  Life.  Things happen and never turn out the way we hope or plan sometimes.  That's just the way it goes, and the easier you can adjust or be flexible with what happens in life the better you'll be.

So, here's hoping the positive plans you're making right now for the new year pan out and you can look back with pride and triumph.  If your plans include a few twists and turns throughout the year (as they most likely will), I wish you strength and wisdom for the journey.  Life is unpredictable so get ready for the 2016 ride ahead!  

Blessings to you in 2016!!
