HAPPY NEW YEAR!

So long to 2008, hello to 2009. As the new year begins, I am full of hope. Although we face many challenges in the coming year, those should be looked upon as opportunities and not problems. I am excited that we have a new president and the hope for improvement that that offers. I believe the worst of the economic downturn is behind us. As creative Americans, I believe that we will rebuild our economy to be even stronger than before. What will make that happen is for everyone to start pulling together. FDR once said " The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." This is as true today as it was in his turbulent time. If we are able to keep an optimistic attitude, we can persevere. Don't be afraid to work harder. Don't be afraid to reach higher. Don't be afraid to ignore the prophets of doom. Don't be afraid to reach out to friends and families with your support. Don't be afraid to be more caring, understanding and tolerant of what others are going through. Don't be afraid to make new acquaintences, they may lead to new opportunities.

I wish all of you prosperity and happiness for the new year.
