Going forward into a new year is always a good time to look back and see how far we have come. In this there is always a choice. We can either choose to remember our mistakes, or our accomplishments.  I must admit, I have made many embarrassing mistakes in the past. But to dwell on them would be destructive. So, I acknowledge them because I must; then I move on. Embracing the positive things that I have done in my life has been a game-changer. I can look back and recognize that I have been blessed with many wonderful moments in my life. And I also celebrate the wonderful people who have helped to bring me to the place that I am in today.  Welcome 2026!
