2015.......

My Final Thought for 2015.......May you clear your heart of grudges and your soul of hurt. May you realize that a second chance is not a given, but a gift. May you understand that life is to be lived not solely, but universally. May you look upon your fellow man with eyes that are mirrors that reflect your true self. May you take off your blinders and judge not, lest you be thrown into the pit of condemnation. May you deep within your being, know that you are valuable, but no more precious than the person standing next to you. May you follow the path of both boldness and vulnerability. Each is a key to the lock of life. And above all else, may you reach out and touch someone who needs a hand up, a pat on the shoulder, a gentle nudge of encouragement. Life is not a what but a who. Believe in this. There is evil in this world; there is hatred and cruelty; there is abomination. But there is also prayer and hope and salutations to each new morn. Take your part and even though you might not be the star in the play, you are important. Make a difference.....make your difference. Change begins one small step at a time. May you know that opportunity comes once, but not always twice. Never overlook your chance to be that person who shines a light in someone's harbor of fog. Happy New Year my friends.
