Goodbye to 2012... Welcome 2013!

As we approach the end of the year 2012, one can get all tangled up in trying to remember the highlights of the year.  In truth, the year was great for some, marginal for others, and bad for many more.  Every year has its mix of the good and the bad, and we can only hope that the following year is better.

Rather than dwell on the trials and tribulations of the year 2012, I would offer a new suggestion.  Remember your favorite moment of the year, and cherish that one.  Perhaps if you can do this, you can remember another, and then another.  It is better to remember the blessings of the past, and learn from the mistakes as well, and keep and share the lessons learned.  However, hanging onto hatred, or misery never does the individual any good. 

So when one reflects on the past year 2012, think of the successes, rather than the failures.  Think of the laughter, rather than the tears.  Think of the joy of experience, and the lessons learned, and look forward in wonder to the future. 

So today, say goodbye to 2012, and tomorrow embrace with unbridled enthusiasm the possibilities of wonderment that the coming year 2013 can bestow upon you!  Go out there and capture your dreams!
