A new year, a new day

As 2018 rolled in, persons started making their plans of things they will do this year, things they vow to change; to do better.

This year, I will be guided by each day, which represents newness and a chance to be better than I was the day before. Each day is a chance to do something new and to try again. With each day I am blessed to see... that alone is impetus to give thanks and use it to the max.

Today is a gift, seize it, use it. As my brother said, each day you get the chance to press the reset button. Don't be afraid to do so.

Each day I will remember:

1. If you think it, you can achieve it!

2. I can...and I will!

3. Do what you love & love what you do!

4. I have been given this one life; whether it is for 1 year or 100 years is not for me to say. All I will do is take what is given me & make it my own. (contributed)

5. S.S.B.I - Strong, Smart, Beautiful, Intelligent

6. Invest in yourself, cherish yourself, love yourself. Take long walks, do your crazy chicken dance, laugh loudly and indulge in lazy mornings when you want.

7. Celebrate small achievements.

8. Last year was great, you had ups, downs and all things round...but you came through it all with strength, pride & shine in your eyes. This year will be even greater!

9. It's okay to let go. Sometimes to lose is to gain. Throw off the dead weight from your back and your shoulders, remove the scales from your eyes, shake off the anchor from your feet...move forward.

10. Take risks!!

Like a Phoenix...rise!
