It’s almost midnight, almost a new year… and I have been thinking about this all day, and on other holidays too. For me, it’s just another day, because I treat every day as a fresh start, a new beginning. I don’t do resolutions on this day. I do them throughout the year when I am ready and when I decide to. Why do we wait for Valentine’s day to give our significant others cards, flowers, gifts and tell them how much we love them? This should be done whenever, just because. Why do we wait for Thanksgiving to think about what we are thankful for? Why do we wait for special occasions to wear certain clothes or do certain things. We should be thankful every day. Every day should treasured. Every day IS a new beginning, you can choose how you want to start it. Any moment could be our last, and we should treat it so. Do what you want NOW! Don’t wait for those “special occasions” because they may never happen. If you love someone, tell them… as often as possible! Love with all of you heart… laugh as much as possible… and most importantly LIVE!!!
Be thankful, appreciate everything and everyone… don’t take anything for granted… be kinder, gentler… stop, breathe, take the time to inhale all the beauty that surrounds you… don’t be so hard on yourself… don’t waste your life away with worry and guilt… Love, Laugh, Peace…
Love this & feel the exact way about holidays. Thanks for sharing (I’m writing in my planner right now) & Happy New Year!
