As I write this, 2012 has less that 24 hours left in it. It's 12:15 am, on December 31st, 2012. I'm not sure why it seems that time goes by so much faster when we are adults. I never remember it flying by so fast when I was younger. As with every year, 2012 brought its own set of challenges and changes. Not all bad, not all good. But I can say, that for the most part, I am content with where I am at. There are things that I want to do differently in 2013, and I will work on that, but change happens one step at a time. Then, before you know it, you've made many small steps that have led you to your destination.
The great thing is, every day we can wake up and decide who it is that we want to be that day. One of my favorite novels is "Anne of Green Gables" by L.M. Montgomery. In the novel, Anne has a saying, "Tomorrow is a new day, with no mistakes in it yet." I love that quote. But I believe that we can change things even minute by minute. Every breath that God gives us is a chance that we have to live and to change things if we need to. There once was a pirate, who may have been smarter than we have given him credit for, who told someone, "The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem." Thanks Captain Jack. Who knew a pirate was so wise.
So the bigger question is, have you really had a bad year, or have you just had a bad attitude about the year? Either way, 2012 is over (In about 23 and 1/2 more hours..). Tomorrow, if the Good Lord wakes us up, we have a chance to make life better. For ourselves and for others.
What could you do to make the difference in 2013?
