The best is yet to come

This year has come to an end and a new one is beginning. Though I've no crystal ball to predict the future, there are certain things I know I can count on to happen: 

I will have good fortune, as well as disappointment.

 I will build new relationships, and maybe lose some.

I will take new risks, sometimes with success, and other times, falling on my face.

I will experience more joy and more sorrow.

Ahead, will be many new milestones, miracles, adventures, and opportunities/challenges.

But most of all, I know: the best is yet to come.

The beginning of a New Year is time for reflection and setting new goals. My committment this year is simply this; try to be my best self, create my best life, and do service work to help others.

What is your wish for the New Year?

 It took me awhile, but I finally got a new dragonfly picture. I've been chasing these little guys for weeks. That was part of the fun though. This fellow doesn't have much color, but he's still special.

If we don't grow, we are not really living.
Growth demands a temporary surrender of security.
