Oy… today is the last day of the year 2019: so much left to do, so little time; lots of lessons to reflect on from the past year, and some resolutions left to consider for the next one. In retrospect, here’s some of what 2019 taught me:
v Don’t be such a smart aleck
v Bad things can happen to good people
v Don’t take anything or anyone for granted
v There can be a silver lining in just about anything
v Don’t be so quick to think you’re right and others aren’t
v Remember to say you’re sorry… and really, really mean it
v Don’t ever forget to treat others the way you want to be treated
v Always do what’s right, even when it’s hard
v Don’t break your promises, and
v Friendship is unconditional
There are probably more, but these are some that stick out the most from 2019; but I’m not sure that they all sunk in as much as they could or should have. And therein lies the potential seeds for a New Year’s resolution: I promise to learn and practice the important lessons I learn. Let’s all remember that while every year teaches us something valuable, whether we get the lesson is up to us. Note to self: print these out and re-commit to really start living them today.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
