A Better Way to Make a Resolution
Happy Friday and Happy New Year!
I ran into a friend of mine yesterday and asked her how she was. She answered, “Jet lagged!"

Mine was a fortune cookie that read: What can you appreciate right now? Asking myself that single question whenever I get into a bad mood has changed my life.
