New Year's Resolutions?

I have never been big on New Year's Resolutions.... but I do try to make subtle changes to better myself all the time.  There have been many positive changes in my life this year.  I am aware and grateful for every one of them.

Rather than a  list of Resolutions, I think I checklist is better suited for me right now:

Always be grateful for my blessings.  They are present in my everyday life and I must never take them for granted.

Remember to look for the good in people.  Sometimes, I will have to look long and hard, but, with perseverance, I will always find it.

It's the little things that matter.  The price of gas or the closing numbers of the stock market will not make me sleep better.  But if I was the reason someone smiled, I will have a happy heart.

I will tell those that are close to me that I love them all the time.  Saying it and hearing it will etch the sentiment in our hearts.

Above all, never stop being the "romantic realist"

Happy New Year.... Welcome 2017.
