New Year Resolutions

Happy New Year, my dear friends.

It’s not just a new year, it’s a whole new beginning: new hopes and dreams, new expectations, new horizons to discover.
For my new year's resolutions, I borrowed quotes from The Interview With God

1. To learn we cannot make anyone love us. All we can do is let ourselves be loved.

2. To learn that is it not good to compare ourselves to others.

3. To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.

4. To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those we love, and it can take many years to heal them.

5. To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least.

6. To learn that there are people who love us dearly, but simply do not yet know how to express or show their feelings.

7. To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently.

8. To learn that it is not enough that we forgive one another, but we must also forgive ourselves.

Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin. As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. 1 Peter 4: 1-2

Noel,
"May the Lord bless you and protect you,
May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you.
May the Lord show you His favor and give you peace." Number 6:24-26

May you feel the presence of those who love you, care for you, and consider you a friend.
