Happy 2019

My Treasures,

I wanted to wish each and every one of you a blessed new year!

These wishes are so common, and I know many truly mean well by them. Many, however, say “happy new year” like it’s a kneejerk reaction. What does it actually mean when we say it though?

I’ll tell you what it means to me.

To me, “happy new year” means…

• Believe in a fresh start.
• Every day won’t be easy, but every day will be worth it.
• Remember that we close our eyes when we pray, cry, kiss or dream, because the most beautiful things in life are not seen but felt by the heart.
  Quoted by Twitter’s MotivatedLiving
• You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream…
  Quoted by Twitter’s MotivatedLiving
• The past is behind, learn from it. The future is ahead, prepare for it. The present is here, live it.
  Quoted by Twitter’s MotivatedLiving
• When life is sweet, say thank you and celebrate. When life is bitter, say thank you and grow.
  Quoted by Twitter’s MotivatedLiving
• We must hurt in order to grow, fail in order to know, and lose in order to gain. Because some lessons in life, are best learned through pain!
  Quoted by Twitter’s MotivatedLiving
• We do not remember days. We remember moments.
  Quoted by Twitter’s MotivatedLiving
• Sometimes it takes the worst pain to bring about the best change.
  Quoted by Twitter’s MotivatedLiving
• Life always offers you a second chance. It’s called tomorrow.
  Quoted by Twitter’s MotivatedLiving

I did not write most of these quotes, but they ring true just the same.

I want to wish you all joy, but I know it’s impossible for every moment to bring it. Instead, I wish you courage. I wish you strength. I wish you the ability to confront the challenges this year holds with dignity, grace and a positive outlook. You are so much stronger than you know. If you are a follower of Jesus, you have even more grace to carry you through. If you are not a believer, then believe in yourself and in the choices you make, the people who love you and the strength within each and every one of you.

In the words of Leanne Womack, I Hope You Dance.

Bless all of you, my Treasures. I love you.
