Happy Holidays – Happy New Year
As the new year approached I thought back over the past year. There were things that I could wish had been different. There were challenges I could admit that I’d rather not have faced. There were problems I still had not resolved to my satisfaction.
But, then I thought of something of which I was grateful. And on thinking of that one thing, I thought of another thing and then another.
It was like a string of pearls in my hand, each bead a reminder of something to be grateful for.
And as I thought of each thing for which I was grateful , such as our grandchildren, our children, my family, my marriage, my health, my friends, my dog, playing golf … my mood lifted and my energy shifted.
I looked to the New Year, not as another year of facing challenges, but as another year of opportunity to celebrate living.
As this year closes, may any challenges or concerns be overshadowed with your blessings.
May you look at one thing to be grateful for, and may you then be counting your multitude of blessings.
May you enter the New Year with this elevated state of anticipation and gratitude.
May this elevated state help you see new answers and opportunity.
May your New Year resonate with health, happiness, love, joy, abundance.
and… May you be open to receiving all of your good as you create in this new year – a life of celebration!
