Happy New Year to all of my friends and family, I wish you all a better year than last.  I can’t say that this year is a new beginning because I try and look at every day that I wake up as a new beginning and a new day to get things right. Enjoy life and not just the big accomplishments but the little ones that really count.  The things that matter the most are hearing and saying I love you a million times a day, random hugs and kisses for no reason, phone calls/or texts just to check in and say hi. Get together even if it is just for a “quick cup.” Ask someone how their day is going. Give second chances. Listen to someone vent just to make them feel better. Be compassionate and understand that not everyone lives by the same book that you do so don’t judge. Reach out to someone who you haven’t spoken to in a while. Go out of your way to make someone happy. Don’t gossip, it hurts and is VERY destructive. Watch your words and think about what you say before you say it and please teach your kids the same.  Don’t make fun of those who are less fortunate than you, you never know; you just might end up in the same situation. Take care of yourself, as in mind and body (you only get one so treat it right).  I really want to go on and on but I think you get the gist of this post so I’ll cut it short FOR NOW lol.

Bottom line and I think I’m repeating myself, BE KIND. It is amazing how doing something nice for someone else or just treating others with the same respect that you would want, can truly make you feel good.

Be safe and have a great 2016.
