the new year

Hello to all my friends-    How lucky are we to be here at this time to enjoy the ending of one year and the new beginning of the next---Lets pause for a moment and remember our friends who moved on to another place.....Thank you for taking a moment to reflect on all that happened in 2015.                  Now its time to get ready for 2016- I do that by making a few resolutions(actually 8) there is always 4 from the year before---My new four is LOVE-LIVE-LAUGH-APPRECIATE     I know this sounds like a wall hanging -and it sounds easy-but believe me it takes some work-some practice-and a commitment to succeed........When we think LOVE(do we include loving ourselves??)   When we think LIVE(are we in the moment most of the day??)  When we think laugh(can we really let loose with a belly laugh??)   When we think APPRECIATE(who and what are on that list??)     So my young friends-Please really ponder the meaning of the words and how they will enhance your special life.   With Love and appreciation      Sifu Mike Gentile
