A New Year

So a new year has begun.
What have we learned from the year past.
I have learned many things.

1.Life is precious, make the most of your time.
2.Take time to contact those you love, even if in little ways to let them know you care.
3.Believe in yourself, and your abilities.
4.Listen to your children, they see truth.
5.Hug each other often, as a tide can carry us away in a moment.
6.Help your neighbor, and your world.
7.Be thankful to live here, have empathy for those who don't.
8.Pray always.
9.And awake each new day with a smile.

The following will explain each lesson learned.

1.My grandmother passed away, I didn't get a chance to see her before she passed.
2.I did write my thoughts and my Mother, thankfully, shared them with grandmother before she passed away.
3.My girlfiend had a baby new years day, and had a great delivery.
4. My daughter wanted a new mother for Christmas, seems I've been grumpy, time for a new attitude, time for change.
5.With the earthquake disaster, life is too uncertain to leave a hug for another day.
6. Give to those whom have nothing, or whom lost everything. I am Happy to be Canadain, and our empathy for others is so strong.
7. Canada is a safe haven for us all, appreciate it.
8. Sometimes we can do nothing in the moment but pray.
9. A smile in the morning will carry you cheerfully through the day.
