2012...

There are so many things in life
 that we simply can't control.
So my hope 
for this new year
is to focus on the things I can.

To be more accepting
and
to be less judgmental.

To take more chances
and 
to worry less about failures.

To triumph in others' differences
instead of being afraid of them.
  
To focus on the ones I hold dear,
and sometimes 
even the ones I don't hold as close.

To use more of my right brain
without losing the good sense of my left.


To remember that the small things 
are often the most important things
in the grand scheme of things.

to do more
and
  to be more...

So
"Happy New Year" 
to you and yours


from me and mine...
