Happy New Year!

First, and foremost, I want to wish everyone a healthy and happy New Year! 

It is so hard to believe that a year has come and gone and like the saying goes..The older we get, the faster the time goes!! Boy, isn't that the truth.

Twenty-eleven will soon be another completed chapter in the book of Life.  As a planet, country, state, city and family, we have  shared times of joy and those of deep sadness. We have prayed together, cried together and laughed together.  We have rejoiced in the good times and felt each other's pain during the darkest moments. We have put aside differences and looked for commonalities that draw us closer.

Contrary to what we might hear and in spite of our similarities and differences, we are a world of loving, caring people!

My wish for you in 2012

May you have more sunshine than clouds,

More laughter than tears,

More up's than down's.

May you find true happiness in the simple things.

May you make someone smile everyday.

May you put other's first, without losing yourself in the process.

May you have an adventure of a lifetime,

and make memories that will be shared for years to come.

May you make a difference in the life of a person or animal.

May you give of your time, and talents, to make this a better world!

May you enjoy health and happiness during 2012!

Love,

Shawn
