As another year comes to an end and new one begins; may we resolve to not only look back at our achievements and learn from our mistakes; but to apply those lessons to the future with open hearts and minds.
Let us remember that if something isn’t broken; then it shouldn’t necessarily need to be fixed; and everything that is broken can always be fixed.
Let us be charitable to our instincts and trusting of our hearts- even if what they’re saying isn’t always practical. Good things aren't always reasonable or convenient in your life at their time of inception.
Let us live life knowing that time moves in one direction and that it is ticking down and so:
• Let this not be a reason for sorrow but a reason to rejoice in the life we’ve been given.
• Let this give us permission to dream big.
• Be proud of your fathers and love your mothers as they do you.
• Trust that positive interaction will always triumph over negative and that sometimes winning a battle requires laying down your weapons and walking away.
And perhaps most importantly: be thankful for our friends, family and acquaintances: knowing that when we look back on our lives; on our certain deathbeds; we will not remember things, but the people we knew.
Amen.
