Most years, I have welcomed in the New Year with hopes of better things ahead, anxious to shut the door on the past year. I feel differently this year. For me, 2016 was a good year; it was a great year. There are some key differences in 2016 from an events perspective, namely no one died, I did not change jobs, the kids did well in school, but aside from this 2016 was a really good year because I had the right perspective on life.
Every year prior to 2016, I have started the New Year in search of something or someone. In 2016, I started the New Year focused on my boys and on things that matter to me. I wasn’t looking for what I did not have, I was focused on what I do have. This was a great way to spend 2016.
I am starting 2017 with the same energy and the same focus. I am looking forward to the days that await me in 2017.
Happy New Year!!!
