The New Year is upon us. I pause and look back to look ahead.
I’ve realized that sometimes I squander my gifts. I am blessed with a lot for which I should be, and I am thankful. I live a blessed life with a loving partner, family, friends, inspiring and rewarding work, and Rashi, the Portuguese Wonder (water) Dog.
But when things are good, we tend to take them for granted. When we don’t appreciate them thoroughly, we risk losing them. We all must continue nurturing them so they do not slip away from neglect.
It is too easy to forget that. We can all be neglectful, expecting the good things always to be there.
So, let’s not squander our gifts. Take a moment to reflect on what is truly meaningful in your life. Commit to celebrating and nurturing our core values and relationships. And make sure to let those special people in your lives know it. Please do not take any of it for granted.
I enter the year hoping to focus on the truly important things, the people, and the values I hold dear. I hope you do that, too, as we enter 2025.
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy New Year!
