One of my favorite gifts from Santa this year was a lovely book, "It's Never Too Late: 172 simple acts to change your life".
As we sweep away the remaining hours of 2007, and ponder the arrival of 2008, let us agree to:
Be realistic. Keep the ideals and things which matter to you. Resolve to leave behind the things that don't. Make a few resolutions; challenge yourself. The old adage that "Today is the first day of the rest of your life" is actually true at this time of year. Hard work, a positive attitude and good timing all create good luck.
(Coincidentally, as I write this, the classic song by Judy Garland, "Lucky Day", is playing on the radio here. Take a listen to these lyrics: "Oh boy, I'm lucky. A-ha, I say I'm lucky. I want to shout Hooray! This is my lucky day..."
Go ahead and dare to be lucky in 2008.
Be well.
