Happy New Year

Welcome to the New Year...2009! This last year has been quite a tough one for me personally but I have also learned a lot about family, life, death, and the things that really matter in this world. The most important thing that I have learned is about attitude. You can't change the world but you can change how you see the world! One's attitude can keep a person sane and even alive or if it is a bad attitude, can make a person sink into depression or even take one's life. The good thing about your attitude is that it can change on a dime. One minute it may be lousy but you can hear a song on the radio and your entire attitude and outlook can change. I have witnessed how a positive attitude kept someone alive when the charts and doctors said otherwise. I also saw a depressed attitude take someone's life way too early. If nothing else, make sure your attitude is flexible! Also, do random acts of niceness because just maybe, you will change a lousy attitude to a positive one just with a smile and a thank you. You can make a difference!
