My New Year's Resolutions

Happy New Year.

This year don't worry so much about your weight, your age or your bad habits.
Spend more time making friends, playing with children and talking to God.
Think a little each day about others who are in need and then take action.
Widen your circle to include those you haven't considered before.
Open your arms and embrace someone totally different from yourself.
Notice the stars at night, the sunset and the sunrise.
Smell fresh cut grass and cucumbers.
Listen to the sweet sound of children's laughter.
Open a book and explore a new world.
Forget the traffic and enjoy the journey.
Never forget your humanity.
When you feel sad for yourself, help someone else.
But take time to acknowledge your losses and cherish your gains.
Make memories and then visit them from time to time.
When you say good bye, say hello to someone new.
And most of all, raise your arms to God and seek his face.
He is already waiting.
