New Year, New You?

It's a time of new starts, new years resolutions, new hopes. But amidst all this newness, we also believe that we need to reemember those people, ideas, and things that are stable and constant in our lives.


In a society that seems to be focused more and more on always striving for the newest, larger, better thing, we encourage you to take a moment and focus on the traditional and simple things that enrich your life daily. Maybe it's your spouse who has stood by your side always the past year, or decade, or five decades. Maybe it's your home - and the security that comes from knowing that you'll have a roof over your head and a hot meal every night. Maybe it's your education and that college degree that nobody can take away from you ever. Maybe it's your unwavering faith and devotion to a higher power.


Whatever these constants in your life are, be thankful for them. Few things in this life have true permenancy. So we don't want to take these constants in our life for granted. As always, we strive to be thankful for the blessings we have and remember that at the same time as we are making those new year's resolutions and striving to better ourselves, we also need to take the time to reflect on all we have to be thankful for in our lives - just the way it is.
