A New Year, A New Beginning

How many people have I heard say that they are happy to be done with this year? A lot, and, it seems, a lot more than usual. It wasn't, they tell me, a bad year, just a challenging one. Between the economy and personal challenges relating to work, family, illness, finances, it seems that many Americans share the same story. But there is no where to go but forward. Time only moves that way -- in this sphere anyway. So, our best option is to move with it, willingly, happily and enthusiastically even. That is not to say there is no room for realism -- but dealing with "manifest reality" is a lot easier if you go forward knowing how you want to shape the next chapter. The New Year is a time for reflection of what has been and a time to resolve what we are going to do to create what will be. New Year's Resolutions don't have to be formal, nor sweeping. You can resolve to meet every day, one day at a time, with a new attitude and a new perspective. I wish you and yours a Happy, Health New Year, one in which you are able to take whatever comes and with presence of mind, and enthusiasm, turn it into the experience you want. May 2010 be a banner year for you! Coach Paula
