New Beginnings

Reflecting on a year gone by, projecting what is to come

can be a rewarding experience although difficult for some.

Concentrate on new beginnings as life changes along the way. Make some new traditions starting right now, today.

It’s never too late to make new friends though to have one—one you must be. Allow the past to remain in the past

let go of negativity.

Shine your inner light brightly so all around you can see

that you live, love, laugh and enjoy and are doubt and worry free.

As you welcome in 2017 make a list: “What I’d like to do”, things you often dream about

then make those dreams come true.

Take a trip you want to take, visit friends or family,

buy yourself that gift you desire “with love from me to me”.

HAPPY NEW BEGINNINGS
