2015
As a way to "ring in the New Year" I have decided to take a look back over 2015 and to count the blessings - of which there were many.
(Last year I sent around my Favorite tunes at the end of 2014 as a way to commemorate the year but, in reality, there are so many more aspects to our days, weeks and months so I settled on an "expanded" version for this year.)
My hope is three-fold:
1) to remember with gratitude what the year held in store for me and to allow that to drown out the persistent negativity that dominates the daily news;
2) by means of this exercise, to remember to look for the good, beautiful, inspiring and funny aspects of life in 2016 and lastly;
3) to share those things/moments with you, my friends, family and close colleagues.
Certainly we all (individually and collectively) have our challenges and there is unease and suffering in abundance in our world--but there is so much more than that and I am going to try not to get lost in the concerns and worries to the detriment of appreciating the goodness, beauty, creativity and friendship that is so very present as well.
Perhaps something "in the mix" of these thoughts, topics or pictures will inspire or comfort you as you start your own journey into this New Year. If anything strikes your fancy, and/or if you would like to share similar aspects of your 2015 with me, I would be delighted....but absolutely no pressure on this.
That said, I have broken down my "list of favorites" into the following 10 topics, most of which have a TOP TEN list within them:
In either case, I wish the very best to you and your families for 2016 !!
