First of all, did I say it was a poison feather?"   - Jack Handey New Year, New Beginning As the New Year begins, we may feel the urge to look back and focus on what we fell short of accomplishing, rather than looking at what we have accomplished. We must be gentle with ourselves, for this is our new beginning. The New Year ahead promises opportunities for growth and new beginnings. Our task is to be open and willing to accept them as they cross our path.
