Happy New Year

We all eagerly await the start of the new year with high hopes and expectations. We all hope to have learned a few of life's lessons in the year that is finished so that we can be or do better in the coming year. We forget that each day brings new lessons that must be learned with it.

I found this article about statistics on top new year's resolutions. I would have thought that the percentage of people who make resolutions would be higher. It seems that most of the people who make resolutions do break them in short order. The article goes on to say that it is better to try and fail then not to try at all.

My wish for everyone is to have a safe and happy celebration of life every day. Make each night your new year's eve. Learn something each day. Live in the moment. Mark Twain said it best when he said "Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt. Sing like nobody's listening; live like it's heaven on earth."

My Posts are Missing!

I have had some thinking to do about my attitudes and opinions. After talking with a friend about some of the things I wrote I came to realize that I needed to take the blogs down right away.

I will be going through each post and really thinking about what I wrote.

The questions I will ask myself are:
1. Does the post convey the message I was trying to send
2. Does the post look like I am stuck on proving I am right
3. Does the post look like I am having a pity party - poor me always the victim
4. Does the post look like I am assigning blame or fault finding
5. How would I feel if someone had written that post about me
6. Are all my reference links still working

Some of my old posts will be done over completely while others will be scrapped. I left a couple up that I thought were acceptable as written.

I would like to thank my readers for bearing with me through the reconstruction of my site.
