Charlene SnyderHappy New Year!!

by Charlene Snyder


A New Year -- A time of looking back -- Reflecting, Giving Thanks.

And now let us welcome the New Year full of things that have never been.
                          
-- Rainer Maria Rilke


A time for looking ahead
     Renewal, hope and determination to create change
          to improve and do better....

A time to take stock
     to evaluate how we are doing on our life journey

A time for Resolutions...
     A fresh start.
          Another chance ... physically,
          emotionally, and spiritually.


"Be patient toward all that is unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves," the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke urges us.  "Do not now seek the answers which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them and the point is to live everything.  Live the questions now...."
                          
Sarah Ban Breathnach, Simple Abundance:
                                A Daybook of Comfort and Joy.  Warner Books,
                                1995.


What are your New Year's Resolutions?  What do you really want to be doing with your life this year?

Are you happy?

Are you satisfied with your life?

Are you satisfied with your family and friends?

Are you satisfied with your Spiritual Life?

Are you satisfied with your church?

"Even if we have never done it, the knowledge of how to live our lives fully lies deep within us."
