Vision 2012

It's that time of year when we all reflect on the past 365 days. "Out with the old and in with the new" some will say, others will welcome a new year with anticipation and excitement hoping the next is better than the past. Others don't want anything to change, it was a great year for them. Still others will write down their goals, their hopes, and their dreams in anticipation that one day life will be as they want it to be. How you choose to ring in the new year will be one of personal reflection, outlook, and hope. A dream, a desire, a wish, a want, or simply a "cleaning of the closet". I hope 2012 brings each of you a time of joy, a time of pure happiness, laughter, wealth, knowledge, and strength. Though we all hope for the best we know there will be times we will have to embrace struggle, pain, loss, and shortcomings.... It's OK those times will only make us stronger.  So to each of you I raise my glass and wish you all the best for 2012.

I leave you with what I set for myself for the new year.......
