Here we are at the start of a New Year again. Actually, it's already almost a full week into 2013, is that insane, or what?! This year holds so much, doesn't it? It holds promise, hope, and a better future if we choose to make it that way. I know we can't expect an entire year to be protected from the world, and no doubt, it'll have its own share of heartbreaks, health issues, tragedies, and challenges, as every year does, but standing here at the threshold of a new year you DO have some choices:
Choose to be thankful. Appreciate what you have and be content instead of focusing on what you don't have. Choose to find joy. Don't focus on the mistakes of the past, but instead, focus on finding just one happy moment every day, or once a week, or at the very least, once a month. Choose to be a friend. Instead of going out looking for who your real friends are, go out seeking to be the best friend you can be and you'll find more friends than you expected. Choose to take control of your health in areas that are still in your control. Add some exercise now and then, cut out sugars and junkfoods when possible, change how much water you drink, etc.
Small changes can add up to a lot. Take baby steps, then bigger steps, then giant leaps in the right directions, and you'll find yourself here next year looking back with fond memories of 2013.
Good luck.
