Here’s to a good New Year!

I was thinking what I would like this new year to hold. It took me to this quotation that I love.

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle.

-- John Watson

There are many kinds of battles, some of which we lose, but we still move forward.

I have a friend who always has profound things to say. She generally comes up with good new year resolutions...I rarely do.

For tonight, I'd say: make time to live multiple passions and take time for yourself. Bring kindness to as many situations as you can. Make space in your life for good things to happen. Take part in the miracles.
And a final quote:

Risk more than others think is safe.
Care more than others think is wise.
Dream more than others think is practical.
Expect more than others think is possible.
