Happy New Year 2019

2019…that number is an amazing one for me to see on the calendar. As a kid back in the 1960’s and 70’s the year 2000 seemed incomprehensible! Now on the cusp of 2020 it’s almost hard for that little kid inside me to believe she is here.

I recall having such high hopes for the world back as a teen looking forward through dreamy eyes with little life experience under my belt. Today, it’s hard when that dreamy eyed teen deep inside gets disillusioned with the state of how things have actually turned out.

The experience of life however has shown me that living is hard work, people really are doing the best they can at any given moment, mistakes are a part of being a human being, learning never stops and in spite of events in the world around me I can choose to hold peace in my heart.

When I pause and center myself and do grab hold of my peace filled heart and act with it, act from it, act through it, I contribute peace to the world around me.

The peace inside that I express in my life does go out into the world.

In this way I can and do make a difference one thought, one action, one step at a time each day.

Each day is in fact a new beginning for each one of us. We are given a fresh start each morning not only at this New Year holiday time.

My wish for you this New 2019 Year is to take hold of the fresh start you are given each and every one of the next 365 days to contribute peace in the world around you!

Happy New Year! Happy New Day…to you!

What will you do to cultivate a peace filled heart today?
