In this cynical time, in this cynical world it is time to make some time to be thankful. I am like many people who too often get caught up in the craziness of the day by day activities and don’t take time to look at their world and be thankful. It is far to easy to complain about things then to appreciate them and that is why I am making my New Years resolution now. I am going to try to appreciate my family, my friends and my world. It may take a little time to alter my behavior because I have been in the rut far too long. I am so grateful that I can share the holidays with my family. I know that it is a stressful time and there is much to do, but what would it be without family. I am lucky to be able to live in this great community and to have such wonderful friends. I hope everyone will take a little time out of their busy schedule and pause to give thanks. We are truly blessed.
