A New Year of Hope!

There is a decididly beautiful quality in something that is fresh, new, and without memory. Spring’s first grass,the sky after rain and a whole new year of endless possibilities.To really get some of life’s benefits one should emerse themselves in the belief that these things can and do exsist.

Most average people look at 2007 as another year following 2006 and flowing steadily into 2008.That is a rather logical way to see time but unfortunatly will not give you the inspirational lift that can be found in symbolism. 2007 is symbolic of fresh new grass, without memory of past mistakes, soaked and dripping in the possibilities that an individual can create!

The new year can hold in its 365 days anything and everthing you have dreamed of. This year is one for new experiences, friendships, adventures and spirituality, leaving old baggage behind, forgiving and forgetting, building confidence, strengthing your body and faith, loving unconditionally, and anything else that you have always wanted but never obtained. Whatever your New Year’s resolution is, may it bring you joy and give you appreciation for the beauty of each day we walk on this earth.

This year I thought many times about suitable resolutions. There is always the famed “lose weight” resolution, or the equally overused “make more money”. These are both fine and practical resolutions that have their own allure but I realized that I needed something incredible and inspiring this year. I thought of many possible idea’s but none of them packed the emotional punch I was looking for.

Then as I sat there despairingly, it came to me…..
My New Years resolution is to marvel,envelope,surround and even wallow in the beauty of life and nature. I know it sounds strange or even silly, but listen, I will for the next year of my life make a concious effort to appreciate and find spiritual gratification from the simple and beautiful interworkings of each blessed day!

So I respectfully challenge you to find something that gives you the deepest feelings of empowerment and contentment. Please open yourself to something of importance that may have been hidden by other daily tasks and needs. GBU Sue
