For a New Year

Once again we find ourselves at the end of a year.

Whether we have met our goals or not.

We have a chance to start a new.

Like a new day dawning only greater.

Start up again that challenge you set for yourself.

Do not look at this year if you failed it or succeeded.

Give a moment of thanks for the year as it passes into history.

And greet the coming one with eagerness and curiosity.

We do not know what it may hold.

Who will we meet?

Will we finally achieve that goal or dream we have?

None of us know.

But I know one thing,

And I hope you will join me in this.

I will set these goals.

To end each day with no regrets.

To smile and laugh at least once a day.

To have hope.

And the most important one,

To do my best.

 

The last one is the most important because it is there

to remind us if we fail in these or anything else.

That we can get up and try again.

So whatever goal you set,

don't give up on it.

Get up,

Brush the dust off and try again.

And learn from your past attempts.

Make this year a good one.
