“If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.”
—Maya Angelou

What have you changed by changing your attitude?

Welcome to 2017! On the one hand, there’s no particular reason a date on the calendar should mean a new beginning, but on the other hand, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t.

What hopes are you harboring for the year to come?

The countdown to the ball drop in Times Square begins: 10…9…8…. The very last seconds of the year are playing out.

What would you like to say to 2016 before it goes?

In whatever language, the world is full of signs telling us to wait. Mostly these are literal signs telling us to hold in place until it’s our turn to cross the street. Mostly.

What signs have you gotten from the Universe that it isn’t yet time to move forward?

It seems a little unfair. Generally we delight in flowers, admiring their beauty and expecting nothing more. But who can look at a strawberry blossom and not think forward to the strawberry to come? With luck we will all be something more glorious later on, but that’s no reason to fail to admire who we are right now.

What “not yet” part of your life do you appreciate?
