NEW YEARS WISHES FOR YOUR HAPPINESS !

JANUARY 27, 2025

HELLO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:

PLEASE EXCUSE THE DELAY IN MY EXTENDING GOOD WISHES TO ALL YOU, HOWEVER,  IN SAYING THAT, I WOULD MOST CERTAINLY LIKE TO WISH ALL OF YOU A “VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR”!  I REALIZE THIS MESSAGE IS A LITTLE BELATED HOWEVER THE INTENT IS STILL PRESENT.  

AT THIS TIME OF YEAR BEING THE START OF A BRAND NEW PERIOD OF TIME, I ALWAYS WELCOME THIS MONTH OF JANUARY AS A NEW BEGINNING FOR OPPORTUNITIES!   I WOULD LIKE TO HOPE THAT YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY REGARDING THIS.  WHAT AN EXCELLENT MOMENT IN TIME WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN BEING ABLE TO PLAN SPECIAL EVENTS OVER THE NEXT ELEVEN CALENDAR MONTHS.  IN MANY INSTANCES WHEN I SHARE SIMILAR OPTIMISTIC CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE FROM MANY WALKS OF LIFE, THERE IS A CERTAIN LEVEL OF APPREHENSION THEY FEEL NOW THAT THE CHRISTMAS  SEASON AND NEW YEARS CELEBRATIONS ARE NOW DISTANT MEMORIES. THIS IS THE TIME PEOPLE, FOR YOU TO ABSOLUTELY START MAKING PLANS OR GOALS TO KEEP YOURSELF MOVING TOWARDS OCCASIONS WHICH WILL BRING YOU HAPPINESS AND THE FEELINGS OF SUCCESS.  WHEN YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT THE THINGS IN LIFE THAT REALLY MEAN A LOT TO YOU, PLEASE DO NOT LET YOURSELF BECOME OVERWHELMED WITH INDECISION AND NEGATIVITY. I UNDERSTAND CLEARLY IN TODAYS CLIMATE, THAT THIS STATE OF MIND DOES NOTHING MORE THAN DIMINISH OPPORTUNITIES.  IF YOU START WITH “SHORT TERM” PLANS, NOTHING MONUMENTAL, YOU WILL NOT FEEL DISSATISFIED, INCAPACITATED MENTALITY,  OR LEAVING YOU WITH THE FEELING THAT TIME IS SIMPLY PASSING YOU BY AND HAVING ACCOMPLISHED VERY LITTLE.  RE-EVALUATING YOUR POSITION IN LIFE AND HOPEFULLY, NOT BEING TOO HARD ON YOURSELF SHOULD TAKE PRECEDENCE.

*WHY AM I RELATING THIS MESSAGE TO YOU?  SIMPLY PUT, NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS OVER MANY YEARS HAVE EXPRESSED THESE FEELINGS TO ME IN CONVERSATION. I BELIEVE THAT TAKING THE INITIATIVE TO ALTER ONES PATTERNS OF THOUGHT CAN BE A BIT OF A STRUGGLE FOR MANY, HOWEVER, SETTING UP SHORT TERM GOALS WHICH EQUATE TO  ACHIEVEMENTS WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH A NEW FORM OF MENTALITY BRINGING A MORE POSITIVE STANCE IN LIFE.  I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT OTHER PEOPLES PROBLEMS OR ISSUES ARE THEIRS.  NOT MINE AND HOPEFULLY NOT YOURS.  EVERY DAY WHEN WE AWAKE AND BEGIN OUR DAY, WE ARE GIVEN A SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF HOURS TO TRY TO ALTER OUR TIME SPENT HERE.  REFOCUSSING YOUR MIND ON GOOD THINGS IN LIFE WILL CERTAINLY FLUSH OUT THE NEGATIVITY FROM OTHERS AND MOST DEFINETELY, YOURSELF.  

*THERE WAS AN EXPRESSION USED BY MANY OVER THE YEARS WHICH STILL HAS MEANING AS OF TODAY WHICH IS……”IT WON’T COME TO YOU, YOU HAVE TO GO TO IT!   CONTACT YOUR FRIENDS, SET UP A TIME TO GET TOGETHER; IF POSSIBLE JOIN SOME FORM OF RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY ETC. KEEPING ACTIVE WITH POSITIVE PEOPLE FLUSHES AWAY UNHAPPINESS.    ALWAYS REMEMBER……..YOU ARE WORTH IT !  KEEP TAKING BABY STEPS TOWARDS THE GOALS YOU ARE SEEKING AND AS OTHERS HAVE SAID…. “THE MENTAL PENNIES WILL TURN INTO DOLLARS!

NEXT MONTH, I WILL CONTINUE SHARING WITH YOU HELPFUL TIPS/SUGGESTIONS AND REAL LIFE PHOTOGRAPHIC EXPERIENCES. AS MENTIONED IN PREVIOUS BLOG ARTICLES, I HAVE BEEN A TEACHER OF VISUAL ARTS AND SHARING INFORMATION OVER A 40 CAREER IS ALWAYS A PLEASURE.   KEEP YOUR CHIN UP AND HAVE A TERRIFIC DAY! 

WITH MY GOOD WISHES EXTENDED,
