New Year Of Possibility

"The Old Year has gone. Let the dead past bury its own dead. The New Year has taken possession of the clock of time. All hail the duties and possibilities of the coming twelve months!" ~Edward Payson Powell

We have the ability to make 2010 anything we want it to be. You have the ability to create the face of this new year. Believe in you, believe in possibility.

Have a happy and prosperous new year!!

So Late So Soon

“How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?” ~Dr. Seuss

If you haven't noticed the clock on the wall or extremely thin desk calendar; it is now December 31st, 2009. The year has gone by so fast for many, so slow for others but gone by exactly in the amount of time it always has.

The work day will have ended sooner then normal. The rush to prepare for the evening parties will begin. And the night will be over before it seems to have begun.

The clock will strike midnight, the horns will sound and the confetti will fly. People will hug and give passionate kisses of happiness to one another. A final dance, a final auld lang syne and the new year will have begun.

Before you realize it, you will wonder "how did it get so late so soon?"

So take a moment to reflect on 2009 and a few more moments to reflect on 2010. Then get started loving more, sharing more and moving forward with your life. Time will proceed with or without us and before you know it, 2011 will be upon us.

Year End Resolution

"Character is the ability to carry out a good resolution long after the excitement of the moment has passed." ~Cavett Robertngs

We are nearing the end of calendar year 2009. The resolutions we made on January 1st seem a distant memory. Some may even fret over the fact that they never accomplished those resolutions. The fear is that a year is coming to an end and nothing more can be done.

But a year is only the marking of time, not the end of it. We use it to measure only the passing of time and events. So anything not accomplished yet, still can be pursued.

It also means the end of a year is not really the end of our journey. The things we wanted to accomplish can still be accomplished. The dreams we put on paper twelve months ago can still be dreamt.

The end is only a marking of the final day of a year. It is the continuance of our life's journey. Let the end be only the end of inaction. Let the end be only the end of procrastination.

Let the end be the start of moving forward in life.

New Year Faith

"Faith is courage; it is creative while despair is always destructive." ~David S. Muzzey

Do you have faith to overcome anything? When life comes and tears apart everything you have, will you be able to rebuild it?

It was during a private "fly-in" fishing excursion in the Alaskan wilderness, a charter pilot and fisherman left a cooler and bait in the plane. A bear smelled it and this is what the bear did to the plane.


The pilot used his radio and had another pilot bring him 2 new tires, 3 cases of duct tape, and a supply of sheet plastic. He patched the plane together, and FLEW IT HOME!


Each of us will encounter what the bear has destroyed. Each of us require the faith to rebuild. A Bible verse (Isaiah 9:10) says, "the bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with dressed stone; the fig trees have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars."

Have faith in what was put inside each of us and you will fly out from the wilderness. The bear that tried to destroy you will be left defeated once again.

Can I verify the story above? Did he really fly it out? I guess that is what faith is all about.
