As this year draws to an end, I think of that which was, and that which wasn’t.

May the new year bring less of what was hurtful, and more of what was joyful.

Start with ambition, and a clear path. Follow it no matter what.

Find your passion and be merry - even if it gets scary.

Help those who are in need – they will welcome it indeed.

Keep your friends and make some new - it’s better to have too many than too few. 

May the new year be grand, and happiness abound.

May it be remarkable, as well as memorable. 

Worry not; dream anew.

All of this I wish to you.
