The year 2011 washes away and 2012 Begins A New<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I cannot help but continue to look at Paulo Coelho’s blog which is where this picture derived from. I have recently discovered this writer and he truly inspires me.  He wakes up my heart and stirs my inner most being to put words to the page.<\/p>\n

As I look at this picture my mind and heart want to wash away all of the difficulties of the past year and start anew – as I am sure many of you do.  Yet, I want the happy times to be remembered and cherished.  <\/p>\n

So, perhaps there is another perspective here.  Just maybe, the tide is taking them back into the oceans of our memories – to be stored as the times we had the courage to overcome hurdles we didn’t think we could jump; the joyous celebrations of milestones that brought us one more step toward realizing our dreams and the peace we felt when that little still voice told us – “All is Well, everything will be ok.”<\/p>\n

Store the old year away my friends, take the empty canvas and start to paint the year you want to have.  Use the colors of happiness, joy, peace and prosperity – and add some new colors in as well.<\/p>\n

Here is to sharing a New Year with all of you,<\/p>\n
