New Year’s Day 2010 – Make it a New Beginning
Let’s face it; lots of us have reason to be glad 2009 is almost over. Whether watching our jobs leave in a layoff, waving goodbye to our investments or just generally feeling edgy, it’s been a hard year. But 2010 is on the horizon, and I’m all for finding a way to make this New Year’s Day the happiest ever!
The truth is, even in these difficult times, most of us still have many things to look forward to in 2010. To keep my life in perspective, I’ve made a list of the things I’m happy are a part of it. I hope you’ll do the same.
- We can certainly celebrate our families! What would our lives be like without the people closest to us? Let’s make sure our loved ones know we’re happy to have them near us this New Year’s Day.
- Let’s hear it for friendships! I’m surrounded by warm, wonderful people who aren’t afraid to tell me the truth. What a great thing to look forward to in 2010!
- We can keep learning! My vote is for growing and learning more than we ever have in the coming year. Let’s find mentors and role models, training and education and let’s be smarter and more competent by New Year’s Day 2011.
- We live in freedom! If you’re reading this from many parts of the world, you can celebrate the freedom in which you live. I’m so grateful I can start a business, live where I choose and become whomever I want as an American.
- We’re smart, creative people! The people I’ve heard from on this blog are innovative thinkers looking for a better way to work and care for their families. On January 1, let’s set our minds to finding solutions for the problems that plague us.
I have no doubt, readers and friends, that the coming year is going to be a great one! Allow me to encourage you to look for the best in your lives on New Year’s Day. Set aside the discouragements of 2009 and focus your wonderful creativity on making the lives of the people around you better. Grow a business, build a family, help your neighbors. If we can center our attention on those things, I guarantee, we’ll all be better off this time next year.
