2009: Fact or Fiction?

Oh My God!!!!!!

Christmas is over and now we are looking at the New Year heading for us at warp speed.

There are last minute preparations for meeting Father Time and all the hopes he brings. There are parties to plan for, clothes to pretty up and resolutions to take off the shelf, dust off, and try again with a new vigor, a new resolve, a renewed gusto.

"2009 will be a year to be reckoned with," we vow. We promise each other, we promise ourselves and we forget the failures of the past. "This year it will be different," we declare, casting aside the tendencies we have to make mountains out of the proverbial molehills. (I always wondered what a molehill was and what it looked like, for that matter. And does it really contain moles? Ewwwww!!!)

"Yes, 2009, we will be masters of our own universe," we assert. "We will make good decisions and plans, we will bring ourselves into healthy living, we will discard bad habits like wet clothes. Yes, we will.... YES!!! WE WILL!!!

A negative thought couldn't possibly survive in this positive environment. We know it. We feel it. We feel its strength. We know its power!

So... Be well. Be strong. Be empowered. There are adventures to live and dreams to hope for. There are lives to change and precious little time to spare. To your health! To your dreams! To you!

Happy New Year!!!
