I would like to take this opportunity to bid so long and farewell to 2017!
2017 was an eventful year on many fronts some good some bad, especially natural disasters. More than 60% of the top stories were about disasters of some sort. There were hurricanes Irma, Maria, Jose, Harvey to mention but a few. There were severe monsoons, flooding, landslides, mudslides, avalanches, earthquakes, fires and more fires resulting in loss of hundreds of lives
Then there was the solar eclipse, Las Vegas shooting, North Korea Missiles, I could go on but you get the picture.
Individually we all had lows and highs some of us with more extreme incidents than others. The point here is, if you are still standing in January 2018, you can not afford to keep standing still and accepting happy New Year wishes.
Personally, I did not get just a new year, I got a new attitude. 2018 is a turn around year! And so to all my friends, family and business associates:
Let me wish you a new attitude
? To see opportunities where others see obstacles
? To see where you are going instead of where you are or where you have been
? To look at what it could be instead of what it is
? To soar like the eagle, you were created to be
? To grow like a tree planted by the water
And most of all to love like today was your last day. Actually let me have Patti show you what I mean.
