grateful to be able to say that i’m not carrying over unfinished business into the new year

it didn’t get the best of me as i might have hoped but i didn’t bring any excess baggage either

this is the way it goes sometimes………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

sometimes you tread water and you are grateful you didn’t sink

winning takes on different shades just like the leaves on a tree

not taking advantage of people

going out of your way trying not to hurt

taking what you need instead of everything you could get

appreciating some as enough

all has lost it’s appeal

knowing people can count on you

learning to be quiet

loving people you don’t like

coming to understand that sometimes small steps end up being the best way to go

getting out of the race mode and into the awareness of how special life is and how much one gains by giving

Happy New Year and Happy New Life
