A New Year of New Possibilities
For my weekly Good News posts, Usually share something specific that has recently happened that I am thankful for. This my way of cultivating an attitude of gratitude.
This week’s Good News is a bit different. It is about acknowledging that the New Year brings new opportunities. Of course the specific month, day, and year are not that important. Marking a new year is rather arbitrary.
But at the same time, I recognize that the last number of months have included a tremendous amount of change for myself and my family. I could never have imagine a year ago that I am where I am. That includes geographically where I am.
I am not going to try and predict what the next year will look like but there will be plenty of opportunities. I will make some good decisions and some less good decisions. Things will happen that we had some control over and some things will happen that we will have no control over.
I am as clueless about what life in a year will look like as I was a year ago. I expect certain things to remain stable and other things to be flexible. The point is that the New Year brings new opportunities.
I am choosing to see the best in these opportunities. That is not an easy choice for me as I have a cynical side. I am hoping for a bright future for my family, with an awareness that we will continue to face certain challenges.
